I was in an association a few years ago where those "career high school" officials expected the younger folks (some of whom had the potential to make higher levels) to kiss their feet simply because...

In my experience in a previous association, it was bitterness on the part of the good ol' boys who missed their opportunity to move up to higher levels in their career. Most of them were "1 year of...

Sounds pretty typical of many high school associations who don’t want people in their organization that have aspirations to advance to higher levels.

I won't work any "travel ball" unless it's associated with a camp I have to attend.

I wouldn’t trust the box score to accurately capture the penalties that were assessed. I’ve found that those technical foul memos are frequently incorrect.

I don’t like the FED rule but the NCAA-M rules are a mess that doesn’t need to trickle down to HS.

The only thing more insane than Underwood’s fanboy take is the fact that people on this forum genuinely believe that interaction with O’Connell happened.

I doubt that call gets O'Connell sent home. If he doesn't advance it will be for other reasons.

It's well known that the tournament is officiated more "by the book" than the regular season.

Also, the play that got her riled up is a foul IMO. The shooter may kick the leg but the defender goes A to B and knocks her to the ground, rendering any leg kick irrelevant. In a 12-point game with...

And IMO both the plays that preceded these two technicals were correctly officiated.

I've seen men's and HS officials (and I am one of them) let more misbehavior slide without a second T than what Mulkey demonstrated here.

Kim Mulkey at it again

She’s lucky that her air punch didn’t hit the official.

Hate to be a skeptic, but if he hadn’t already gotten a Class A in the first half – I’d bet they would have given him a Class A here. They knew they had to call something but didn’t want to eject...

They called it a Class B (he already had a Class A so a second one would have been an ejection), probably using this rule:

I respectfully disagree with this. It’s on the coach to change his behavior after he’s been warned, and the issuing official’s presence tableside shouldn’t be a factor.

After a technical foul,...

I absolutely refuse to be the mask police in games I officiate (of course, I won’t work anywhere I have to officiate in a mask anymore). It’s bad enough that we have to enforce fashion police rules.
