Mr. Ed is crying inside. “Dang it, if a ref was gonna make the national scene for being obtuse, I thought it would be me!!”
Our secret is out.
Thanks to the next-level muckrakers at Deadspin, the whole world is learning the truth — basketball refs working on Whidbey Island might not be the best the business has to offer.
For every time we here in Coupeville have complained about the gum-chomping, overly-preening “Mr. Ed” and his band of merry miscreants, at least they have never answered a cell phone and talked on it for a minute while a game was being played in front of them.
And yet, that’s just what one ref did recently at a game between Oak Harbor Middle School and North Whidbey Middle School.
Seriously.
No, really.
Doubt me? Jump over and see the proof:
