Best and worst?

In the years since the incident, I've thought about it alot. I have to admit I wished I'd said it directly to the coach. It definitely needed to be said. I handled it wrong but that's still no excuse for the way he handled it.

There is no excuse for what he did at all. I didn't mean to imply differently.

The worst were two calls I had back. One was a foul where the kid was trying to block a shot from the 3 point line- he clearly was going for the player. I didn't call an intentional; to be totally honest, at the time it didn't occur to me. (3rd year, relative newby...) But, in retrospect it was a clear intentional foul. The other one was the stupidest call I have ever made- team control, girl in the paint. Blew the whistle, froze on my mechanics...I just wanted to disappear into the floor.

Both calls I will remember forever, and use as learning tools. A tool to not be a tool, because I was a tool with both calls.

The best was the last game of the high school season. Everything went very smoothly, overtime game, intra-state rivals. JV game. The varsity guys were their watching and complemented my partner and I.

Also did my first two varsity games this last year. That was pretty cool!!!

During a home school tournament a coach got so infuriated with his son-player that grabbed him in a choke hold. This is one the parents that does not want his child subjected to all the bad things that go on in public schools.

There are lots of reasons parents choose to home school.

The highlighted sentence makes no sense. Yes, there are lots of reasons people choose to go that route. But, like many other choices in life, just don't force it on me as being the best choice for everyone, and for everyone to agree that it is.

I was working a girls eighth grade game, about Z level. Girl goes up and grabs a defensive rebound, but in the process, her glasses get knocked off one ear, and are barely hanging on to the other.

She turns to the girl standing next to her -- from the other team -- and hands her the ball. She fixes her glasses and turns back to the opposing girl. She hands the ball back, and they all head down court.

I give the international referee signal for "I'm not sure what just happened" and everyone in the gym is laughing. As I job past the bench, one of coaches says, "Only in girls basketball ..."
