What I don't get is how the guy works full-time at officiating during the winter, does 8-12 games a week, and has a wife and two kids.

I mean, let's say you can get even $50 a game on average, which is probably a little high if you're working that many games a week, since they probably won't all be varsity. That's maybe $500 a week. Considering your expenses it's less than that.

I can't even get by on that, and I'm single. Never mind putting the ABA and travel on top of that, since Chicago's the only close ABA team to him.

jr, have you had any problems? Have you done the league for a while, or are you just starting in it?

Mark, not surprising. They've got issues in Portland.
