Ok. It's offseason, I'm bored, and there hasn't been much excitement on the board lately. So, I was sitting at the computer tonight and started thinking: if you were a HS (Frosh, JV, or V) basketball coach, would you be interested in having a certified ref come to a practice or two to ref a scrimmage or such?
I could think of several benefits for the team, such as hearing of the new rules, explainations of old rules, and getting an idea of how the game will be called (mainly for younger players).
I though this would also give me a good tune up for the season since most of the stuff I've done over the summer was younger-kid-stuff. Maybe you people who have been doing this for several years think I'm crazy and you don't need a refresher, but I thought it should put me in the right frame of mind for JV/V ball.
I also thought it might be a good way to get to know the coaches in more of an informal atmosphere. Of course, it also might be asking for trouble and hassle from coaches, and an excuse for players to go off on a ref with no repercussions. On top of that, I don't even know if it would be "legal."
Whadayathink?
