Check out the article in the 3/13/00 edition of Sports Illustrated (page 89) regarding the retirement of D1 official Jody Silvester, written by Seth Davis. Also a subsequent "Letter to the Editor" (4/17/00) I'll copy here for your convenience.
A fine tribute to a good man:
THE JOY OF JODY:
Everything that Seth Davis wrote about referee Jody Silvester and the high level of respect that he has earned is true. However, Davis missed an attribute that sets Silvester apart from other basketball officials working today: He has fun referring a game. This attitude is unusual and, with Jody's retirement, may become extinct. Jody has remained a breath of fresh air in a game that has become too much of a business.
