I thought maybe the guy is a new official and hasn't gotten all of his equipment yet. So I asked him how long he'd been officiating and he said 15 years.  |
Definitely not uncommon to see. Some officials prefer measuring tape, while others may prefer the chain. Both are sufficient measuring devices, with the tape proving more accurate.
I know a few people who use a measuring tape.
