In basketball, I did some of the High School and summer league games that Mike Bibby (Sacramento Kings) and Richard Jefferson (NJ Nets) played in.
Jefferson never said a word...just played.
Bibby didn't say much, but you could tell he expected to be treated like a star. His HS coach wouldn't let his players talk to officials, but he (the coach) made up for it.....
In softball, I have umpired games with several players that went on to play for The University of Arizona, UCLA, and other top D1 teams as well as the Olympic team...Alicia Hollowell, Caitlin Lowe come to mind right away, I would have to do some research to find others.
