blasting refs is a no-no!

[Mark Padgett]

Yesterday, I worked my first games of spring league. After the second game, a parent came up to my partner, Eric, and started in on him for not calling enough fouls (on the other team only, of course). Before this guy could finish his first sentence, Eric said loudly, right in the guy's face, "Did I give you permission to talk to me? Well, did I? You can't talk to me without my permission - now get out of here RIGHT NOW!"

The guy was so stunned, he closed his yap and walked away.

Cool!
