I played HS ball at Archbishop Molloy in NYC. Good ball player playing on powerhouse. But spending most of my time on the bench and being coached by a legend (Jack Curran), I learned a tremendous amount about the game. Next off to college - Providence in the late 60's - great team. Sooooo, I played intramurals. However, I roomed for 3 years with a great player (played in NBA for 12 seasons) and learned about the game at an even higher level. My basketball upbringing has definitely helped me to be a better official. I just feel at ease on the court.
