I think that it was Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.'s father who officiated the 1st game with Naismith. Mark may be old, but he's not THAT old!
I know that the PIAA can be slow on the uptake (only implementing a rule on transfers this year, still making officials wear striped shirts for volleyball, and still allowing collared shirts in basketball when all other states have gone to V-necks), so I'm interested in when PA chose to put 3 officials on the floor for a varsity game for the 1st time. Idaho will put 3 on the floor for the state tournament this coming season, and AZ is phasing in 3-person this season.
