Best line by an official

[stripes2255]

I had a similar situation happen a couple of years ago in a intrasquad scrimmage. My partner works at the school as a PE teacher and called me to help him with the scrimmage at his school. During the first half a parent is constantly berating us on every call and at halftime my partner approaches the man, tells him that we are both volunteering time (and I drove an hour from my house) and that we would appreciate if he cools down. Not a word was said for the second half. Tastefully done by my P and the gentleman got the point.

But were you having a bad game and/or should volunteering mean that that fans and players can be okay with substandard officiating.

Just asking the question not condoning the fan's behavior.

Well, it was my first game of the season and since it was before preseason had started I may have been a tad rusty. That being said, it was a girls game and their first of the season as well, so the mixture of the two may have contributed. I would like to think it was more bad basketball and a overzealous dad than my substandard officiating.
