Yeah, I know, seems crazy. Been like that for as long as I can remember (forty-plus years).

Unbelievably, the coaches almost always made good choices. Only a few times over the years have I looked at the tournament list, scratched my head, and said to myself, "Who? How? Why?".

As much as I hate to say this, I wonder if this will result in more technical fouls being given to head coaches, if you know what I mean?

This very recent change follows a change from a few years ago where officials in the past could work both boys and girls tournament games if selected; to our new policy now where selected officials must choose to work either boys or girls tournament games, not both. That change, implemented as a "surprise" by our local board executive committee, pissed off a lot of our local guys that led to some very long and "spirited" business meetings.
