Had a HS ballgame this past Friday night in what has become one of the feature tournaments in our area. Always great fan turn out, on local TV etc. The match up was two of the higher ranked teams, one from our area of the state one from another section of the state. Myself and partner are both college officials and I feel well respected among our peers and coaches. Here's the situation. Game goes triple overtime! Fans are rocking, TV and radio announcers are rocking, just a great, great ballgame. Three secs left in the third OT and ...tweet..we have a shooting foul on a drive to the basket for the local team. Makes both FT's game over. Now, the next morning as VP for our local board, I get to go to our sectional meeting to pick up the playoff brackets and also pick up each schools list of preferred officals and non-preferred officials. Guess what? The coach of the visiting team from last night who is representing one of the sections, makes a comment to several people how her kids were homered last night. Her opinion, oh well, but now I take a look at her non-preferred list of officials and guess what? Two names that were on the list are now scratched off and my partner and me are now on it! I really could care less, but it just gauls me that we busted our a%# for the kids, gave them a fair game and the bottom line is that a coach loses sight that the game is for the kids, not her power trip. Thanks I feel better.
