Heave Ho

Well, had my first ejection last night. (I was the CC.)

Actually, I think I have had an ejection before, but it was sooo long ago that I do not remember it/them.

My early days of being a hard-a$$ basketball official taught me well about what to take and what not to take.

Pointing right at my fellow official, player yells: "What the hell are you looking at?" Flag for Objectionable conduct, 10 yards. Then he looks at me and says, "you're calling that? I can't wait to see you after the game."

Easiest call I made all night, including the blocks below the waist right in front of me.

32 flags, all 8 timeouts used in a 17-16 failed last minute drive. Way too much focus on the officiating from the coaching staffs and not enough coaching.

The officials had a great game. A couple of mechanic slip-ups, such as holding the point of foul on a pass interference deeper than 15 yards. (Only matters if less than 15 yards.) Another one was a side official killing the clock a couple of times when he shouldn't have.

You guys icing down the arms after the game?

32 flags!!! The game must have lasted about 3 1/2 hours or more. Not fun!

2h 45 actually.

It was once a thriving league, but has gone bush league in the past 3 years. Only 5 teams left, with 2 bailing for another league next summer.

Here's a record the other way. In my game today: 4 flags, and I didn't thow any of them

I'm sure Turk would've loved that game

I saw Turk this morning. He actually threw a flag!!!

At half time, there was some money exchanged. The bets were secretly in if and when he'd throw something.

I can do one better than you. How about 4 flags in an NFC game? (I win.)

I had my first ejection a couple years ago.. 3rd grade team. The WH flagged the head coach for an USC. As he was giving the prelim signal, someone smarted off to "why not throw another one". So I said "OK" and sent the HC to the parking lot since noone wanted to be man enough to admit who said it.
Found out shortly there after it was an assistant as he came out onto the field for a time out and told the players to sit down while the next play ran. I preceeded to tell him to get off the field before he got one of the kids hurt and then told another coach to go out the to huddle and talk to the kids.

Last year all was going well until the last 5 minutes of the game.

2 DQs (1 coach, 1 player)
150 yards in penalties
6 TDs
All that in the last 5 minutes.
