Wow, Rich, you wait 4 minutes to sweat??? I try to warm up well enough that I break a sweat prior to leaving the locker room so that I can keep up with the first fast break without pulling something. Marathon running keeps you in shape to run long distances but hardly prepares you for sprints up and down the floor.

Rainmaker, our varsity games in our three metro conferences are three-person crews, with that crew doing a varsity girls followed by a varsity boys, so if you are going to get varsity games in the metro, you need to be certified for both boys and girls. The smaller schools still only want to pay for 2 officials yet, but the whole state of Iowa will be 3-person in the next few years.
