Visitors ball under home basket with 13 seconds left, leading by 1. They broke a guy long, and threw the touchdown pass over the top.............but it hit the ceiling. Home got it back, shot missed, got a second shot, then a 3rd, which was the winner with 2 seconds left. On my way out, who should I see but the main guy who game me the nickname. "Great game, Chuck! Only one bad call." I asked him which one, and he said the second charging foul. I thought it was one of my easiest calls of the night. "He was moving! He can't move!" I explained briefly about LGP, and how the defender was indeed allowed to move after establishing it. He was unconvinced. "But he was moving backward!"

The principal gave you a nickname?

During our pre-season state rules clinic, the deputy commissioner said 4 words. "Get rid of them!" If they're making a spectacle of themselves, if they're interjecting themselves into the game, if they're on the front row or in an almost empty gym screaming to the top of their lungs, "Get rid of them!"

Yup....."Boy".

"Here, Boy."

"Good Boy."

"Roll over, Boy."

Several years ago when my oldest daughter was a starting V as a freshman.......I was appalled at the ignorance and vocal diatribes from our teams fans. Since my daughter was just a freshman and most of the parents were V veterans......I was the new parent in the stands. After a few games of being fed up with some of these parents behavior.......I printed up several TASO (our HS officiating association at that time) applications and gave them out to the most vocal offenders of the bunch stating that since they were so knowledgable........TASO could sure use them.

Needless to say......I wound up watching the rest of the seasons games alone.

Now that there's funny, I don't care who you are.
