Forfeit

[BigJoe]

There have been many games where I as an official wanted to quit. But I sucked it up and finished the game. That said, if a team is pouring it on pressing another team in the fourth quarter with its starters, I am definitely calling every little touch foul I see. They brush a jersey its a foul. I love the line I use in this situation, "Coach, I can't tell you how to coach, but I can tell you how I'm going to officiate if you don't pull the press or your starters!" In my mind the starters aren't learning anything in this situation. If he chooses to press with the backups that is another story. That may be his style and I don't have a problem with that.
