Now I have to get out of the game because you (from Canada I might add, and did not realize that most of the officials on this board did not answer to Hank Nichols of the NCAA) disagree with me. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. This is not the basketball court and you do not know me!!!!! Because I give a crap about what you think (and you are from Canada, I might add) about an issue that is obviously regional at best. I live in Illinois, in Illinois we do things differently from Michigan or Georgia, or California, or New York State. I say this because Mick (who lives in Michigan), who I have much respect for lives in a state that has the girls season before the boys season. Now because I do football and many other basketball officials that I know do too, I just would not be doing girls basketball. I do not know if Mick cares either way, but that is how I feel. And since I live close to Iowa, they have the same officials do Girls and Boys varsity in the same night. Most Illinois officials that "I" know, would be upset if they had to do both boys and girls in one night. And I know Iowa officials that love the system they are under. More power to you and anyone else that disagrees with each other, but here in the U.S. we are entitled to do that. And I respect everyone's right to have their own opinion.
We cannot even agree with each other from different states, how in the world do you think I am going to agree with people in other parts of the world about a sport that is not approached with the same passion as it is here. Kids do not grow up here and play hockey or soccer for fun the same way we play basketball and football in this state. I just came from one of the biggest holiday tournaments in the country at the HS level and it is snowing constantly and the visibility is horrible and the gym was packed. Now would that passion for the sport be the same in California or West Virginia? I really do not know.
We are not going to see the world the same, get over it!!!!!!!!

I hope seriously, for the game, that your evaluator has been monitoring your diatrabe and gets you out of the game.
