Wow, Wow, Wow

THIS is a good example of why checking into the forum even during the off season is always a good practice!

Absolutely horrid...I'd be embarrassed to be his partner.

I've had some awkward moments as a partner, but this would take the cake. I've never felt awkward with new partners, no matter how green. My awkward experience was with a "veteran" official who decided to take a minute and directly address (threaten to remove) a dad in the stands.

I've had awkward moments as well...partners addressing parents in a confrontial manner...coach and partner in a pointing match...this is way beyond awkward. It's damn near unprofessional...pretty much making a mockery of our craft with all those antics. He'd be better suited to be a rodeo clown. I don't know how any of the coaches, players, or partners take him seriously. That would be a first ballot GIGDGO-scratch candidate for me.

I'm mostly amused by this guy, to be honest.

So am I, when he's on a video. Not real sure how I'd feel watching him from the lead position.

In a rec game? Hypothetically (since I don't work rec games) I'd probably be amused. In a varsity game? No, I wouldn't be.
