But we talk much more often during basketball and it's always about the latest game, or a situation we saw on TV, or what's coming up on the schedule. I've always been close with my dad, but officiating has done nothing but bring us closer.

Sorry to keep going on and on, I'm just a really proud and happy son. Can't wait to hear his thoughts afterwards.

Not sure your dad is a grandpappy but what a neat thing to pass on and have everyone remember not only the event but a timeless photo/DVD of your father..
