I remember a basketball game in grade eight, there was a blizzard that day and the refs couldnt make it to the game, so I believe it was the gym teacher who reffed the game instead. So during the game some 30-35 year old guy kept yelling at this ref calling him a ####ing idiot, ####ing blown call, over and over and this was grade eight with younger siblings in the crowd watching the game. So after awhile of getting yelled at and being called a ####ing idiot the gym teacher hands the whistle to the 30-35 year old guy and walks out of the gym.
Its not like our schools are basketball crazy or anything, we won one out of twelve games will I believe the other team won like three out twelve. Not like the game meant much to us, it was just a time to have fun.
Still amazes me to this day that some guy would get so angry over some sub referee not even that just some guy trying to ref a game because so some grade eights could play a basketball game.
