What was you'r bad nightmare that happend to you as official in/before/during/and after the game?
i do remember that one time i arrived to my game and when i opened my bag i understand that i get 2 left- side shoes..so it was a littel problem to officiat the game like that..
so tell me what is the bad nightmare that happend to you..

I think you are asking, "What happened to you that felt like a nightmare but was real."

I had two games at a girls' JV Christmas tournament. Finished first game and had to wait about 25 minutes for next game. Went to the hospitality room, chatted with other refs, ate, used the bathroom When it was time for the second game to start I went out to the court with my partner, he tossed the opening jump ball, and then I discovered that I had left my whistle back in the hospitality room on the table.

Sorry, not as bad as leaving your fly open during the 1st quarter of a girl’s game. http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/icon15.gif (And yes, I was wearing black compression shorts but still...)

Hey I always leave my fly open (adult girl players)

That's because you shouldn't have been drinking the alcohol in the Christmas hospitality room!!!

Touche'!

i didn't understand you..
what do you mean?

True Story....

One year I was escorted to the girls dressing room by the
athletics director and assured me that no will have access to the room other than me and my partner. So while I was dressing I heard some noises in the outside locker room thinking it was my partner so I peeked out the rooms window blind (covered for the coaches privacy) and saw two naked girls making out and fondling each other. Just as I turned away the athletics director and my partner walked in and asked me if I was alright right and jokingly said by the looks of my face it was as if I had seen a naked girl.During the basketball game in between a dead ball I could hear from the crowd a girl yelling towards my direction on a dead ball "Thanks ref for the no call" as I looked up there was two girls waving at me.

P.S I guess you can say I walked around in the coaches room with two left shoes.

I think that I might have a hard time calling the game after this, but I don't know that I could call it "terrifying"! :o

i wish it will happend to me some day..but what is "making out and fondling each other"...?
any way
a true story also:
2 years ago one official had a "talking fight "with his partner (the other official)because a call that the refree change to the umpire..so after 2 min' of" hard talking"the umpire said to the refree :"you know what?**** you and you get a technical foul from me"then the umpire called technical foul to his partner and left the court..the player the coaches the crowed and the refree all of them were in shocked..
this story happend in the children leage and was in all sport newspaper in israel.
