Recently, a fan disagreed with a call I made, and yelled, "That's why you're doing Sophomore ball!" Of course, he didn't know that the night before and the night after I was on the floor for Varsity games for our largest schools' clasification. My choice to help mentor our newer officials by working Soph/JV games is appreciated by our assignors, and that's why I almost couldn't stop laughing at the fan's comment!

I'm in the same boat (helping my assigner with subvarsity games, I even worked a freshman game this season), but, luckily, I haven't received such comments. Too bad you can't yell back, "Why isn't your son playing varsity?". We can think it, but saying it aloud would be, of course, unprofessional.
