Officiating

I don't think it affected the outcome of the game, Haysi gave that game away.

That is something I am going to try and do more of next year and that is get more videos of the games we work. It can only help

I don't think it did either but I still do not like to be wrong but when I am I will own up to it. That is the problem that some have around here and that is owning up to a mistake.

Yea, it's glad that officials do own up to missed calls. I can honestly say every game I've seen you ref I thought was reffed very well. The Region D Title game was officated very well imo.

Thanks. I do make mistakes Zebra can tell you that. My main concern is to get it right

Zebra is a rulebook machine, the man ask's me some weird rule everytiem I see him during football season. If something happens in a game and you all don't know it I don't know who would.

My knowledge of the rules has come from always discussing rules and play situations with UKCats1. He has taught me everything from the rules to mechanics, as well as common sense while officiating. It is a pleasure to be able to work with him on Friday nights, we have a ball. We try to go out and be invisible and allow the kids to play and decide the outcome of the game.

THAT is how it should be. I'll honestly say this--I don't have too many quarrels with how football is officiated in this area. I think it's pretty good actually. I've seen silly calls, but only once in a while will you see the officiating effect the game, or a simple rule absolutely blown and missed all game by the entire crew.

Unfortunately, the same can't be said for basketball.

It is easier for basketball officials to become the star of the show.
