Off the court, everybody calls me Bill, which is fine, but I like Billy. The only people, off the court, that call me Billy are my mother, and my aunt. Yet, on the court, several fellow officials call me Billy, and I tend to call many of my partners Jimmy, Johnny, Billy, etc. I think it's a sports thing?
