State Championship with my brother

There are always going to be people wishing they had your assignments -- whether it's a JV official wanting your varsity game or a varsity official wanting your spot in the state tournament.

Those *do* sound like officials writing those comments, actually.

Congrats and glad you got to work with a famiy member and share that memory.

I always love the peanut gallary that has things to say things behind your back and not to your face.

Peace

The announcer was a hoot! What a bumbling oaf. "That was a fast 5 second call". "You can't call that with 12 seconds left in a championship game."

Really? Why not?

I don't have a brother but I have a son who I trained and he reffed for a few years. We worked numerous local rec league games together (I was the assignor). In one 8th grade boys game, he made a blocking call along the endline. One parent yelled at him so he told the guy to tone it down. The guy yelled back, "You're just like your father!" My son told him that was the best compliment he ever received.
