As for Rec Ball, as Rich says, I tell all my partners that I treat each game as if it's a BV game. We even do Captains and Coaches meetings - sets the tone, is good practice, and teaches the up and comers.

Also, this is why I personally won't do more than four games in a row. If I can't give it what I believe to be my 100% (mentally and physically) I will choose not to take the assignment. I don't want to become THAT guy......

I also ask my partner if they have a coat. Most guys see the sub-varsity contests as ehh..., I like to treat each game with the professionalism it deserves. The quid pro quo between coaches, players, and officials benefits from standards you set from the start. IMO
