ForeverADog Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Oldref, just a couple of random, curious, and fun questions I like to ask referees that I talk to. 1. How many coaches have you ejected?2. How many calls have you got wrong? (every official has a different answer)3. Worst game you ever officiated? As far as level of play in the game. 4. Best tournament hospitality room and what food did they have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDREF Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 POPPA.......Thanks for the kind thoughts......You and Bleed orange have always kept me entertained and i will miss that after I leave here. I hope that one day you will come up and introduce yourself to me. It will probably not be at an HJ game since the two groups don't seem likely to setlle thier differences. What a shame. The two chapters together are very good. The two chapters apart are very average....LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOUJoe whitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDREF Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 WELL................Full Nelson if you look at what ForeverADog's question it states...Which game was worse as far as level of play. It did not say which game I CALLED MY WORST GAME.....I was trying to keep this in superlatives......The game your talking about was with Chip Johnson and it goes down as one of my favorite games ever....I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.....
