Here's how not to give an evaluation

It was the second time I had seen the JV official I was evaluating. He's relatively new, and workign on some of the basics. One of those basics is getting a fist or an open hand into the air on every whistle to stop the clock. He wasn't doing that in the first game, but was doing a far better job raising an arm in the second game. So, when he asked for input at halftime, here's what I said:

"You're doing a much better job of getting it up tonight."

Ewwww. I actually said that.
