...climbed into the car yesterday, and I can't seem to shake it. I was wearing the official stuff (except for the stripes), listening to the CD I always listen to when I'm headed to a game, and thinking about basketball, because of a project I'm working on, and it hit me complete with DT's and everything. This board is boring!, I got no games in sight until November, and my innards are screaming --- HELP!!! The March Madness tapes just don't cut it, the WNBA playoffs are on cable, which I don't have, and I just can't hide it anymore -- (breaking into song) I've got a basketball jones, oooh baby, oooh, oooh....

Lightbulb I have a suggestion for ya!!

Juulie,

Take up another sport. That helps get your mind off of basketball (or your favorite sport) for the time being. I feel the same way about basketball, but football occupies my time until the basketball season comes. It also helps you become a better official doing other sports as well.

Peace

Whenever you get the urge to ref, take a cold shower

I AM doing volleyball, and it's nice -- and it pays better -- but it's just not the same. "Had a little talk with God" about this, and I suppose, "I Will Survive", but "It's Hard, Yes it's hard, Ain't It Hard."

Meantime, I'm living for the days of "Whoop, There It Is".

Or, you could commute here to Michigan, where our girls FED season begins in late August each year (at least for now). Mick and I have been at it for a month now. (officiating that is)

Gives new meaning to the words "Lead" and "Trail", not to mention "3-person Mechanics".

I'm in....

I'm especially interested in the section on "off ball coverage" and "rough play"

Oops, I've said too much...
