Referees no longer carry flag sticks. I miss them since it was one more way to fend off angry and verbally abusive coaches. It figures that when referees wad the flag sticks Iwas a coach. Now, as an empty handed referee, Karma is fulfilled. The stange thing about water polo is the titles are incorrect. Referees should be called broadway critics as they reward subtle, nuance filled acting by the players and allow overacting players who ham it up for a foul to be abused by first their opponents and then their coaches.
