Everything about basketball officiating interests me, and nothing about basketball officiating doesn't interest me.

Same thing with backyard chickens. Had a periodontist appointment today. Knowing that I raised backyard chickens, my periodontist had many questions for me because his adult daughter (a former student of mine) just started a backyard flock. I was more than pleased to oblige. A normal forty-five minute appointment turned into an hour long appointment.

Being a direct paternal descendant of Niall of the Nine Hostages, King of Tara in northwestern Ireland in the late 4th century C.E., I definitely have the gift of gab.

Questions are great, especially when the subject matter is outside one's scope of expertise or knowledge.

In this case, I saw lots of statements, so I don't think your anecdote applies.

Didn't have a lot of questions because I was mostly posting about my local high school assigning policy (something that I already knew a lot about), spitballing to see if something would stick and if it had any bearing on the original (college) post.

I found out that while there was some dovetailing, it wasn't really that much.

I'm never afraid to ask questions, but sometimes one doesn't know what one doesn't know.

The dominoes have finally fallen.

I just received a bunch of D2 and D3 assignments over the last 3 days. I've had to turn in one JuCo assignment and I have had a bunch of partner changes in my other JuCo games, including the one I ended up turning back.

This is the situation the OP was referring to.

My understanding is one of the consortiums just dropped their games for November over the weekend. I have literally 1 NAIA game (I have a tournament but that does not count for this conversation with 4 games over Thanksgiving) and 1 D2 game who said he only dropped games through November. I have about 3 D3 games but had them for some weeks now. Nothing in December and beyond other than JUCO which is likely going to be given back once everything really comes out.

All my supervisors were not very happy in the end because of the late assignments. Usually, we have most of the initial schedule in August or September. Not this time.

Who cares what HS is doing because that is not what the OPer was even referencing. Just one person. LOL!!!

Peace
