Other than summer league basketball, where do officials call games with only 1 official? In Wisconsin we are told (by the WIAA) NEVER and I mean NEVER to officiate a game by yourself, no matter what the situation. The possibility of some type of lawsuit is ever present!! Do not think for one minute that some mom or dad in the stands would not take your behind to court if something happened. No game is important enough to put your career on the line. The society that we live in makes that absolutely ctystal clear.....at least to me!!!

mike,
Happened to me once last year. ...maybe 3 times total.
My partner didn't show up because he volunteered to put out a house fire with his volunteer Fire Dept.
Did the JV alone and had a replacement show up for the varsity game.
I know of no MHSAA reason to not "Do what we have to do".
