On April 15th of this year my 95 year old grandfather passed away at 8:05 am. I was scheduled to work 4 AAU basketball games that afternoon and evening. I immediately went to the first location and told them what happened and that I would not be coming to ref. Meanwhile, i had my wife call our assignor who lives in Florida( I live in IN) to also inform him of what happened. He told my wife he did not care what the reason was, if I could not find a replacement I'd better be there. Needless to say I let him know what he could do with his basketball games. Don't get me wrong, I love officiating, but I think it needs to be kept in the proper perspective! I was supposed to go to this assignors camp to try to move up Div 1 Womens. I also told him what he could do with his camp. Give me some comments back on what all of you think please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



You did the right thing for both your grandfather and the rest of your family, and you shouldn't ever regret it. I once passed on an important HS game to be with my father-in-law as he went through surgery... made some serious points with my wife and my mother-in-law. Sounds like your assigner is lazy and a real jerk. No one needs people like this in their lives.
