Tucking in my shirt isn't in the manual, but I still do it.

Any excuse to post this exchange from A Few Good Men:

Kaffee: Cpl. Barnes, turn to the page in this book that tells me how to get to the mess hall.
Barnes: Lt. Kaffee, that's not in the book, sir.
Kaffee: You mean the whole time you've been at Gitmo, you've never had a meal?
Barnes: No, sir. Three squares a day, sir.
Kaffee: Then how did you find the mess hall if it wasn't in this book?
Barnes: Well, sir, like everybody else, I just followed the crowd at chow time, sir.
Kaffee: No further questions.

We dont here, the OHSAA was a bit pointed a few years ago about not blowing whistles after the horn sounds.

Just to slightly change the subject, for the first time ever, even though it's always been in the IAABO Manual, and in the NFHS manual before there was an IAABO manual, Connecticut officials have now been instructed to sound our whistle after a timeout followed by a free throw (the lead sounds his whistle before bouncing the ball to the free thrower).

I know it's in the Manual, but we've never done that here. Do a lot of you do this in your state, region, locality, etc.

Now I have to remember to use two hands to report, and to sound a whistle after a timeout followed by a free throw. The times they are a changin'.

I do it in my games regardless where I'm working and whether other folks do it.

In your state, region, or locality, are you the rule, or the exception?

I know some people that officiate football and basketball in Ohio, and it always seems like the powers-that-be don’t have enough things to worry about up there. Case in point...
