Confessions of an elementary school basketball ref That would be me and I suck at it.
I love the game but I had to referee a league game at my elementary school. Basically I was thrown into the fire so to speak. I didn't know all the little rules they had in place for the kids. One rule was the defense had to touch one foot "in the paint" before they got on defense. It got to the point where I didn't want to make a bad call and ruin the game for the kids so I ended up not making ANY call. The other ref who's a baketball player anyway made all the calls. I feel so crappy. I now realize that I'm more comfortable with street ball but I want to learn the real rules of the game.

All things considered, I'd much rather be playing the game."I ordered no broth! Away with ye lest my cane find your backside!!"- Ralph Wiggum, Actor. | |

[This message was edited Sat Nov 8 8:48:51 PST 2003 by NovaAngel] :LOL: At least you are honest. I have seen some refs who were completely alseep. But would swear they were on top of the play. They can't admit they are wrong or else the crowd will challenge them on everything and rip the ref topieces. Can you see me now edit [This message was edited Sun Nov 9 20:19:17 PST 2003 by CtheUncanny] I GOT YA, I GOT YA, I GOT YA PUNKASS! REPEAT | |
