There are few people that appreciate a 7:30PM game starting at 8:02PM.
Parents? Nope.
Coaches? Nope.
Support staff? Nope.
Officials? Nope.
Radio/TV? Certainly not.
So let's stop talking about starting on time as if it's some kind of evil. It behooves everyone to stay on schedule, when possible.
I watch a lot of JV basketball and sometimes the thing that's missing is PACE. Officials don't hustle during dead balls, don't start play promptly, dawdle during substitutions and free throws. And they call 42 fouls in a half.
We're scheduled for 7:15 tip tonight. These extra-special early tips never start before the usual start time of 7:30PM. But we need to show 15 minutes earlier anyway, just in case. Sigh.
