Tournament time. Did 8 games last weekend, 7 this weekend and just today decided to go watch a friend and sometimes partner call a JV girls and boys game. Problem was the other Ref didn't show. I was called out of the stands and had to run home and dress for the games. Got back to the gym just after my partner finished the 1st quarter alone.
I was kinda curious how many of you guys have had this happen and if any of you keep your ref clothes in the car just in case.

Be prepared, my mother brought me up wrong I guess.
During the "official bsaketball season" I keep my bag in the car with my "A" outfit, for just that reason. Once the season is over I have a shirt and black shorts and a pair of older officiating shoes in a smaller bag because you never know. I went to watch a hs varsity game about 3 years ago. The gane was in a college gym where the floor was raised about four inches. During warm ups one of the officials fell off the edge of the court and broke his ankle. I was there (with my bag in the car) and did the game. You never know.
