Nah, it takes him too long to dial the numbers on rotary.

Just got this email from the assignor of this weekends tournament...

Tournament Regulations and Guidelines  For 9th -12th Grade Division

Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated!!! A referee may remove players from the game or tournament for inappropriate behavior. We are here for the kids. Do not allow or condone poor sportsmanship. This includes coaches and parents!

Hey, when in Rome, wear a toga.

Hopefully they have some security in place to help enforce the policy.

Shoot, I've heard some stories about the Springs. And Colfax Ave is famous among Air Force folks.

Colfax is almost famous among law enforcement folks.

As for the Springs. No comment.

I've had more trouble in the Springs than in the 5280. Maybe its a familiarity thing?

He is not all that old, He is going to be around a long, long, time. Active NCAA referee, full time employee of the State.

The Board of Control sets policy. It is run by school administrators, ADs, Principles etc. The State Supervisor is seen as the "Bad Guy", but is only enforcing what the BOC sets as policy.

State guy says the first foul he sees without a bird dog he's turning and walking out.

Betcha he doesn't.

If his actions warrant the T, do it... but even if they do, he can stay in the game - where is it even remotely our place to suggest he sit? Just awful.
