I'll also apologize for the smart alecs who didn't repsect your legitimate question.

Somebody leave a flaming bag on your doorstep? Lighten up.
I didn't see anyone "disrepecting" the original poster. I count three, including myself, who are not familiar with this "patching". Even the poster making a joke (that's joke, j-o-k-e) about glue followed with a question about the meaning of "getting patched"
In my neck of the woods it is no big deal. If you are a member of an assocation and pay your dues, they hand you a "patch" along with the rulebooks. Sometimes they chagre $1 for the patch, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they don't even call it a patch, but rather a "logo."
It isn't a patch that makes an official. It isn't a patch that creates the desire to work, study and improve. But if some state feel that only a patch can possibly signify "excellence", so be it.
Please pardon those of us who do not live in Ohio or Illinois for our ignorance.

Nah, it just reminds me I have to remember to affix my patch for my 2 hoops games in IL this week. What a pain in the a$$.
