I had the pleasure of working a game between a "normal" hs and a deaf school in WI years ago, and it was a great experience. I found that the deaf kids were far more in tune to what was going on than what I feared - I found myself often times OVER signaling, etc and they were like "whatever ref inbound the ball!" They also "listened" to the coaches and were much more disciplined than their non-hearing-impaired opponents...not a ton of basketball talent, but great kids!
