I think your AD's choice to put a recently graduated alum who can't maintain objectivity as varsity timer over someone who has demonstrated ability and objectivity is an disgrace to the game-Especially for someone like me who worked his way through the ranks to earn the varsity official scorekeeper's position.How was the lunch lady she was filling in for in ability and objectivity?
I started in the summer of 2004 (between Soph and Jr years of HS) as a JV and Varsity boys summer league scorekeeper.Then with both varsity scorekeeper positions taken for the '04-'05 season I served as a ticket-taker and continued to work summer league to gain seat time.I shared varsity boys scorekeeper duties for the 2005-2006 season (even getting a chance to fill in for the first day of our annual boys tournament) and earned the right to work my first playoff home games as an official scorekeeper 9 days after my 18'th birthday.I have been a full time varsity scorekeeper since the 2006-2007 season working both regular season (home and away) and summer league games.
I too echo Welpe's sentiments and hope this hiatus is temporary for you all and you are back courtside working somewhere soon!
