I know we tease that Coaches are pretty thick headed...but, most of these guys know a "soph ref" from a Varsity official.

1st Quarter...I was new T coming up the floor when V1 passed the ball. V1 thought I had taken my eyes off of him...so V1 pushed H1 in frustration. Boom...I got the foul and yelled, (for some reason)..."and that will be the last time".

Coach IMMEDIATELY had a substitue for V1. (smart coach...and I told him as much)

The next time down the court I heard the Coach tell his bench..."hey, these guys are Varsity refs...no messing around tonight!"

Meant no disrespect, every varsity guy did soph games on way up.

...none taken, my friend.

Occasionally, we get the oportunity to do lower level games...i.e. heavy night, mentor younger officials, etc.

...my ego was just looking for a way to get that statement by the soph coach in...
