I probably should not be posting based on your qualifications.

I did a game this year at my alma mater this year. It was a home game for them, so I officiated in the gym I played in. I was at the place I grew up. I was even officiating the star player that Grandfather was a big time official and mentor of mine. I knew this kids father and officiated this young man several times when he was much younger and not in HS. So for me personally, there was a lot of emotions going on in my head when this game started. The visiting AD knew I was from this school and I still had to do my job.

I guess the best way to say this, is what you want your reputation to be. Do you want to be seen as someone that truely is objective or someone that takes sides? Just call what you seen despite your personal feelings. No different than any other aspect of your life. If you work at a position in your daily life where objectivity plays a part, just do what you normally do. I do not want to suggest it is always easy, but it can be done easily if you put your mind to it.

Peace
