Why (?), you ask "WHY".
 

The question "WHY" comes up many times but there can only be ONE reason! Anybody can "CALL" a game BUT it takes a STRONG BACKBONE TO W-O-R-K a game!!

First rule of WORKING H.S. Games:
 

I call this my Rule #1 when we are talking H.S. Football. We ALL should use this simple reasoning: If anything is true about H.S. Football, no matter how many A's there are to describe the size of the school. CALL THE OBVIOUS AND THE FLAGRANT! As an Official, your #1 reason for being a part of the "SHOW" is simple. You call a foul when (A) A team violates a rule to gain an advantage or (B) You make a call to protect all the players.

In most cases I believe the coach is lying. What I'd like to do is ask for the name of the crew from last week so I can make sure they get it right next time.
