Kuddos to all of you
I have had my officiating experience in basketball, but I do coach Middle School Football. Yesterday, unfortunately our away game we had scheduled wasn't what was scheduled with the officials and so thus no officials and the coaches has to work the game. I spent a game working on one sideline, and what an eyeopener. What you all as linesmen see is truly amazing. I now know I at least have the luxury of being able to have an angle on a play. Watching down the line of scrimmage everything seemed to move so fast, especially on plays run up the middle. Now I know with experience, the game slows down and you are able to see the play better, but it is amazing what you can and cannot see.
We had a play on the goal line where our FB ran up the middle and it looked like he was getting into the endzone, then there is a collection of bodies and i cant tell where the FB went. Thanks again for what you do, We really cant play with out you all. By the way, Pretending to officiate this one game was the most fun I have had in a while coaching football.... |

Thanks. Hope you'll consider joining the football side of the stripes one day. Incidentally, this will be my first year officiating basketball.

I am only 30, but I am constantly getting tired of the coaching crap. You think parents are bad on your side. But I loved officiating basketball, and I tell myself I want to get back into it. I might flip to the bright side, because the dark side of coaching is bringing me down.

Officiated HS FB for 31 years counting this year. All levels and it has been a hoot. I believe that everyone has the right to have a good officiating crew and we try to do our best. Makes no difference if it's the lowest 9 man teams or the top 11AA teams.
Actually if you want to call a game with lots of situations, penalties, scores, etc. try doing some of the Indian schools out west. I guarantee that you will give your rule book a work out... Jim |
