[Back In The Saddle]

I still maintain, despite the vehement dissension in the ranks, that this is simply a matter of personal preference. I take a shower and get dressed at home before I leave. In nearly every gym I work, I park by the back door in a designated place, walk in a door and go to the official's room. I might pass 10 people at the most. I try to arrive 30 minutes early, even to younger level games. I change my shoes (spit polished real leather for the court!) check to make sure my shirt is tucked in and neat, put on my whistle and state wrist band, put on a small amount of lotion after shave, make sure I have a handkerchief in my left back pocket, check to see that my jacket is buttoned and neat, and that I'm prepared. Then I stretch. I have a spare pare of pants, undergarments, and knee braces in the bag in case of an emergency. I greet the AD and both coaches and act in a very profesional manner. After the game, I speak to my partners, we review the game if needed, bid farewell to my partners, quickly put on my jacket, leave by the same way and head home. I guess drinking the Slim Fast after the game on the way home might be considered unprofessional? Other than that, how is this unprofessional?

State wrist band?
