Just for the record, I am a
woman, LOL. Not that it should make a difference as Garth pointed out, but I keep being referred to as "HE."
No, I did not pull my son out of the game as a PP asked. Maybe I should have, looking back now... I am just grateful nothing bad happened.
Thanks again to the few posters who have pointed out that I was indeed correct to be concerned since "Michigan requires all officials to be registered to officiate any high school basketball games."
Someone also asked what our coach thought about the situation, obviously we didn't talk to him directly about it until later, and he said he was pretty surprised that they chose to use unregistered officials. He also said that several days later the school's Varsity Coach called him personally to apologize saying he couldn't believe it when he heard what had happened and assured him that it was not indicative of how their program is usually run....
And again, I know they were uninsured, unregistered officials because we asked the school's principal and athletic director about it and they admitted it. I assure you this is not a hoax! I am LOL'ing at "Johnny Ringo" who is as dumfounded as we were. There were a few girls (sorry Garth, but they were GIRLS) sitting together in the corner of the gym, and the athletic director went over and asked one to ref. I dont know if maybe she was more familiar with basketball then the rest of the students in the gym, or if simply he needed a "body" to fill in, but she was there.
Please refer to our schedule (Rochester) on our school's website to see that the game on the date in question DID happen. I think the JV and Varsity teams might have been playing at Lapeer that night, but Freshman were not. I might have been mistaken on the price of admission --- was it $3?? Maybe ... but the fact is, we did paid to get in, we did play a game at that gym, the official were female, and they were NOT registered.
