fletch_irwin_m This is a good one for those die hard book or presence people. We had our association camp over the weekend. A new guy who started working in the spring and is not "open" to suggestions doing the second half of a game. (We worked half's) Blue is up 8 with the ball holding it to kill the clock. Clock keeper starts counting (manual clock) 10, 9, 8, 7,........whislte. Our man calls "3 seconds on Blue". The evaluator comes up and says "That is probably a call you pass on" His response, "Well he WAS in there for three seconds and I am going to call it!" Maybe you just needed to be there but was pretty funny.
canuckrefguy Here's a good response.... "Oh good. Well they'll love you in the Grade 3 girls league, because that's where you're gonna be reffing from now on." I had to lay this one on a less-than-receptive rookie once, after he just wouldn't listen.
