Iowa State LOST! LOL

Just saw that. Will have to DVR it. Reffing JH basketball at 4.

What cities do you officiate games in. I coach jr high basketball.

I'm mentally heckling you as well.

Seems like we have a lot of refs on this board. Can't you just give the kids a chance to play without being watched all the time!!! (Wait, you said coach....oh well, just go with it!)



By the way, just bumping mostly because, Iowa State lost!

No where close to North Liberty. Kossuth County. I do JV and JH. No varsity. Working in law enforcement I don't need the headache of varsity basketball. The only varsity sport I do now is softball. My reffing money goes into my bowl game account.

Yeah, you couldn't pay me to officiate games. Its a tough gig and way too much to deal with even on the junior high level.

Especially when basketball is the toughest sport to officiate in my opinion.

I really wish people would realize that reffing is a good $$ maker. If you can handle getting chewed out and yelled at for a couple of hours. I did it during college and until I had kids and loved it. It was an easy 2-3k a year for football & basketball. Now kids keep me too busy, can't do it. Once they are all grown up and its just me and wife I am getting back into it.

It is tough with kids. My kids are in their 30's. When they were in school I was unable to officiate. Once they were out I started again.

I'm not telling my umpire story from between 7th and 8th grade again...gets to long. But for part of a summer I was making an easy $20.00 an hour...but comments are right...had to learn to ignore the hecklers.

Reffing is awesome but it’s not for everyone. Also helps that I don’t have kids.

Reffed and umpired during high school and college. Made good money. No varsity either. Did jr high, JV, etc....

Absolutely. I reffed youth soccer about a decade ago; could pull in $500 for doing a weekend 3v3 tournament with little effort.
