Arrrrggghhhh - Rant

[rockyroad]

No real constructive reason for this rant...just need to vent.

Worked a Boys/Girls Varsity doubleheader last night. Boys game first. Was a great game - very competitive, fast pace, good flow, not a lot of fouls. Home team up the entire game until last 2 minutes and Visitors made a run at them and ended up winning by 3. As we are heading back onto the court for the Girls game, the Home Coach tells us we did a nice job (and he lost). For whatever that's worth...

Now....Girls game. Final score was 43-11, Home team lost. Home team was 3-13 from the line. Had 17 turnovers. Called them for 18 fouls. They had more turnovers, more fouls, and more missed free throws than they had points. And the Coaches were - of course - griping at us the entire time. As the game got worse, they whined more. Finally warned the HC in the 3rd quarter...she wanted to know what she had done that was so wrong, and I told her "Accumulated BS"...she got the point. Quit whining at us...probably the worst basketball game I have officiated in 20 years.

Just kept repeating Mick's mantra in my head..."Get in. Get done. Get out."

Rant finished.
