OK, OK, I *do* like seeing myself on TV. I just didn't like the shot LAST night. And last Friday the only official they showed was my partner -- which is OK considering he drove 160+ miles to work a girls' varsity game.
Last night's shot was: Me running away from the camera shot, while about 200 kids sitting in the far bleachers run out on the court. We ran into the losing coach on the way out, and he was dejected. One shot can change everything.
In the shot, I was running at a faster clip in that moment than I did the whole game, which is kinda ironic. I had the worst position -- I was lead and our exit was at the other end of the floor across the court. As I ran past the winning coach, he was still exhaling the sigh that started when the shot bounced off.
I have a public access channel in my hometown (the town where I've only lived for the last few months) that shows the local school games. The announcing team includes a player's dad and some kid from the school who are such homers it's almost laughable. I hope to get some games there next season so I can hear their treatment of me on television.
