Its hard to be a ref...ya'll should try it sometime.

Especially when there are fans that think they know every fucking thing. Last year I reffed like 1st/2nd grade intramurals and we werent supposed to call travels and shit unless they were real bad and then there would be parents that would complain about shit like they're at a high school game.

Yeah...I reffed some games at college, after my class. Its hard to catch everything...people are pissed at you if you call to tightly, people are pissed if you call to loosely...etc.

Nothing you can really do about the way people interpret your officiating. There's always gonna be someone upset with whatever you call.

I'd be calling every game loose, let the dudes play, nothing worse than whistle after whistle after whistle etc...

Exactly, I umpire baseball games for the local little league, get some decent money for it too, and you just have to remember that every call you make one side is going to complain about it

 

[DJT]

Well its also extremely easy to miss stuff...a travel or a charge...etc.

Anyone else see BK today? =]

Fuck off Butler.

Word. I had Pitt losing in the next round anyway though

My bracket is struggling right now, I'm doing beast in the East, but pretty shitty everywhere else

 

[RipCity32]

I had Pitt in the Final 4.
Bracket is just about shot now.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

I've only lost 1 Elite 8 team (Pittsburgh) and no Final Four teams, so I'm in pretty good shape. Actually have the best possible top score in the SI bracket, so I'm in good shape.

 

[playmaker7]

I don't even like Kansas but if they lose at all, I'll be hella disappointed just saying.

 

[mil]

come on duke!

 

[Elite]

Harrison Barnes is playing real nice so far, NC still down at the half though

 

[Elite]

UNC - WAS is going down to the wire. Little over 20 seconds left and NC is up by 1 with the ball

 

[Elite]

*phew*

Way too close for comfort, UNC going to the Sweet 16. Really hope I don't regret picking them over Syracuse.

 

[elcheato]

Luckily for the refs that was a two, because he definitely goal tended..

 

[DJT]

I think I had a dream last night that Duke lost...also that I was a repo guy and had to get this boat...

 

[Mooche]

Luckily for the refs that was a two, because he definitely goal tended..

The ending of the Washington game was just a disaster.. Everything about it.

UNC is going to get beat soon though anyways.

 

[RipCity32]

I'm glad the refs put Morris and Smotrycz on the bench for the rest of this half, when we were playing good as fuck with them.

Hopefully we can keep it in check till half.
