I am 46 years old and still play pick up basketball at the Club I belong to. Hmmmmmm, after hearing all of these 30 somethings quiting I feel pretty good.
I must admit though that I did miss a District Game 2 years ago because of a back injury sustained during one of those pick up games.
Dislocated fingers, sprained ankles, and stitches around the eye have also been sustained because of this lovely game we enjoy so much.
This last year I thought I might get the privledge of doing the State tourney, which fortunately I did, so as many of you stated you do I quit playing during the season....there was no way I wanted to miss that oportunity!!
If I may offer one suggestion I heard long ago:
Do not officiate basketball to "get in shape"...
Get in shape to officaite basketball.
