Do any of the officials out there have a favorite place that you like to work? I worked at a place last night that is my favorite for many reasons.
1) The gym is somewhat historic in that it is the gym in which Bill Bradley played his high school basketball.
2) My grandfather used to take me to games there at this gym when I was a little boy.
3) The table crew there has very sentimental ties to my family. The scorekeeper is my second cousin. The clock operator is in his 70's and is a former official. The first time I worked a game there he told me that the last game he ever officiated was with my grandfather some 40 years ago.
Unfortunately since I now live in this town and school district I don't work there but once or twice a year on non-conference games. However I always have good memories when I work there.
Does anybody have a similar gym that they like to work in?
