I have only been in this area a few years and I call in such a large place that it's not a big concern to me.

A few years ago, when I was first started calling football, I did a couple of games involving a youth team I had coached several years prior to that. I didn't think anything of it because I knew nobody in the program and called the games fairly. It hit me after the fact that maybe it wasn't a good idea to do their games though and went ahead and blocked them from my schedule.

If possible, it is good to avoid these situations to deflect even speculation of impropriety but sometimes it just isn't possible.

As to JAR's stories, it simply amazes me how ugly people can get when it comes to athletics...especially people that you thought were otherwise dignified.
