-- "Because that's the way I want it to be..." So -- say a GJV game somes along and there are more fouls comitted than the hour and fifteen minutes of alloted time allows. Do you start passing on fouls? Do you not allow each team five timeouts? How do you control the duration of the game without deviating from the rules?

 

--What is the difference between a local association and a region association? To the best of my knowledge, assignors are provided to each association by the Board of Control. And there is only one association for each sport in each area. I may be wrong, enlighten me.

To my knowledge, EVERY region association does not assign JV officials due to not having enough members. Some regions let ADs assign local licensed officials to officiate their home JV games if the region association doesn't have officials available. Our county has a local association of officials work that everything from AAU to JV. Any game that is a school event is assigned by our HS AD. Only officials that are licensed are allowed to participate in HS games. Are you enlightened?

 

Again, I have absolutely NO problems officiating JV games. If I ever start "passing" on too many fouls and it becomes a problem I will let you know how it comes out.

 

Are "Ticky" fouls mentioned in the rule book? If not, don't mention "deviating from the rules" to me again. Thanks

 

That "time is important" comment I made has really caused some bunching.

Conner vs SK (fresh)

 

 

My son plays for Conner and the refs down at SK really let them play.

 

Final: SK 37- Conner 30

The BIG thing with any sports official is being decisive, and many times when an official is starting out they are not, they don't mean to be "bad" sometimes they are just slow to react. That is why they are calling Fresh and JV games. Many times they younger officials have a better knowledge of the rules since they have just studied (in theory) the rules and taken the test, but they just are not decisive enough to make calls in a timely manner so they let stuff go, which makes it worse.

 

I speak from experience, I was terrible till I got older and became more decisive, and that made me a bettter official, (although I was still bad according to the fans...LOL).

 

Isn't the officials test open book.
