That is what we do. We have people go to virtually every college in our area and hand out flyers. Then we hit the city run rec leagues for adults. There you find people who are interested in the game.
As for former players and coaches. When I was very active in our chapter some of our top officials never played or coached the game. When they decided to take up officiating, basketball fit into their work schedule the best. I based my decision of which sport to officiate on a simple thing...I asked myself "When it is in the upper 30's (temp) and pouring down raining would I rather be in a warm dry gym working a game or standing in the elements on a football field." Seemed like an easy answer to me...
