It's Petersburg W.V. if you referee there, after the game they bring you a chili don and a bag of good pop corn. The fans NEVER complain, The coaches rarely complain and when they do, it's respectful, the players are very polite.

It's hard to believe in this day and age, but it's true.

It's a shame it's an hour and 15 minutes each way.

Time certainly does change things. Back in the late 80's, my mentor and I were contracted to do a Christmas tourney at that school. About a 4-hour drive for us. I had the flu, temp of 103. We worked the game, home school loses by a bunch. Home Coach follows us to the locker room, screaming and ranting about how "pathetic" we were. The display was so over the top that my partner informed the school they would need to replace us for the remainder of the tournament. I have never seen anything quite like that, before or since.

Glad to hear things have changed.

Once, almost thirty years ago, in a mens insurance league (Hartford, CT, is the Insurance Capital of the World) game, that was poorly attended, a few wives, and girlfriends, only one bank of bleachers was extended on the side of the gym opposite the table, so lots of room on that sideline, except for about ten feet where the bleachers were sticking out to within a few feet of the court, near the division line. I'm old trail, becoming new lead, in a fast break situation, I turn to run, while looking over my shoulder, and sure enough run right into the extended bleachers. I still have a scar on my shin.

Also, similar play, but after a made basket, I ran into a cheerleader doing her, "Yah, Rah, Rah, Johnny", routine along the sideline in a tight gym. She went about fifteen feet. I didn't feel much, she was one of them skinny cheerleaders.
