High School and college sports official in Oregon. I will post about sports and the art of officiating.

#Packers first-round LB Quay Walker has been ejected for shoving a #Bills coach on the sideline.

Today is a sad day. The day I went to get some beer and the switch has been made from summer brews to fall brews. I’m not against the fall flavors, I’ll just miss the tastes of summer. Until next year.

I wrapped up my second week of training for my new position as a Sheriff’s Deputy. I can now say that you could tase me 1,000 times before you OC spray me. That stuff is nasty. It’s been over 12 hours and I’m still burning. Would not recommend.

[Cooper Roberts @BurningGravy41]

@MidMajorMedia Congrats coach. Always a pleasure to umpire your teams. Sportsmanship and good baseball.

[Cooper Roberts @BurningGravy41]

First day of the first tournament serving as tournament director for Steen Sports Park. We find out who takes home the “trophies” tomorrow during bracket play.

@Josh_Eldredge @OSAASports I’m curious what the OSAA is doing behind the scenes regarding the shortage of referees in all sports. It’s been bad, but it’s getting worse.

How sad that HS baseball games are being canceled this weekend due to an umpire shortage. Parents, this is your fault. You assault them and follow them to their cars because they made a bad call on your precious child and wonder why there are none available? This is what you get

[Cooper Roberts @BurningGravy41]

@JomboyMedia This is a rule, and a point of emphasis from the NCAA this year. It’s going to be called more often because of that. Coaches know what the POE’s are. Officials don’t get to pick and choose what rules they enforce

I got to wrap up my basketball season as the crew chief of a “sweet 16” high school playoff game. It was a great game with a great crew. Now to get ready for next season!

[Cooper Roberts @BurningGravy41]

Just booked my flights to head to Seattle this summer for the Cascade Conference training camp. It feels crazy that basketball season is about over and I’m already making my arrangements to head to camps this summer. Before I know it, it’ll be October and time for more games.

[Cooper Roberts @BurningGravy41]

The post season is here! Mountain Valley League 1A District Tournament games this weekend for me. Next week, the 2A and 4A start their play in round. Should be a fun time!

[Cooper Roberts @BurningGravy41]

I'll wrap up my college regular season this weekend. Two games at Southern Oregon University. This has been a crazy fun season full of great basketball. On to the spring and summer camp season!

[Cooper Roberts @BurningGravy41]

I found out yesterday in my first two games refereeing in the Golden Valley Conference that good basketball/athletes are not defined by where they play. The JuCo scene in Northern CA is pretty impressive. Some great talent on the Women’s and Men’s side.

[Cooper Roberts @BurningGravy41]

Finally starting to feel better today. The last few days have been pretty terrible. On the bright side, I just got a phone call telling me that I’m being added to referee in another college conference, making me a full member of two conferences.

[Cooper Roberts @BurningGravy41]

I’m sitting here battling with COVID. I’m vaccinated, and if I feel this bad, I can only imagine what it would feel like if I wasn’t. Please get vaccinated. Protect yourself and others.

One of the hardest parts of what I do comes after I get home from officiating a game. I lay in bed after a long day of travel and replay the game in my head over and over thinking of key plays before the film comes out. I usually don’t sleep much on nights I have games.

[Cooper Roberts @BurningGravy41]

I never watched The Golden Girls myself, but I can remember my grandma watching episodes religiously when I was at her house. RIP Betty White, we’ve lost a true legend today. A true pal and confidant.

[Cooper Roberts @BurningGravy41]

@BagleySports I had the privilege to see him a few times when he was at Butte Falls as they played some teams in the basin. He is a truly incredible athlete.

[Cooper Roberts @BurningGravy41]

For as short staffed as the Browns are today, a 10-7 score in the third isn’t bad. #DawgPound
