What are some things that you carry in your gym bag to your game assignments. What I'm getting at, is stuff to keep the games running smoothly, rather than personal items. Or maybe, you'd like to reveal some of your personal items to the forum as well.

Do a search for "what's in your bag" and you should find quite a few threads on the subject.

I usually carry a couple of inflating needles.

I like to have one in my pocket to let a little air out of the ball if it's a bit to "lively."

Carry In Your Bag
 

i bring to my games:
2 whistles
2 lanyards
rule book
shoe polish
inflation needles
2 pairs of black gym socks
2 pairs of pants incase 1 rips
2 tshirts for under my ref jersey
and a good attitude

Well, up until yesterday, I always carried at least one pair of slacks in my bag! :mad:


Try it and see what you get.

How long has the search function been down?
Its been a while since i've had to do a search.

Anyways, i always carry a roll of tape, the medical stuff. Its good for taping down the odd medic alert chain.

Is this your screen name, or a general request? :)

Either way, welcome to the forum.

No... I have been officiating basketball for 2 years and baseball for 5 1/2 years (By the way - I am 16 years old) I have always loved sport officating and i have studied many many rule books. I also am the head umpire for my local recreational leagues.

Ah, you must be the parent of a young child, Chuck!

Tony, tell all!! Details, lots of details!

Cyber --

When I was doing a lot of rec stuff, I carried a neon orange traffic cone in the trunk of my car. It was about 8" tall. When the site I was at didn't have an AP arrow, or didn't have a functional one, I used the cone, laying it on its side pointing to the appropriate basket. It worked great. Cost about $2.00.

I'll wait until the movie comes out.

Had everything laid out. :)
Ready to put in the bag, except the slacks. :confused:
They were on a hanger. On the doorknob. :o
Called home. http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/frown9.gif
Teenage duaghter on the phone. Evidently, doesn't understand the concept of Call Waiting. http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk.../reallymad.gif
Drove home. http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/madgo.gif
Got slacks. http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/frust.gif
Got back. http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/1.gif
They started without me but with a replacement. Cost me a game. http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/misbas.gif

First weekend of the season, so I really hadn't had a chance to empty my FB gear and convert to BBall. Never, ever did that before. Not happy with myself.

Well, it's nice to know you're human. Jurassic, who do you think should star in the movie?

Been a while since I've been the parent of a "young child". Somewhere, in my attic, in an old Dewars box among other paperback classics, is my copy. BTW, most of that box was emptied between years 14 and 17.

Of course when you cooled down you told her it wasn't her fault & gave her a big hug.

Right? ;)

Obviously she does understand the purpose of call waiting and caller ID, as it is to prioritize which calls are important.

Take an old (but serviceable) pair of pants, a shirt, socks, maybe even shoes, and put them in your trunk or the bottom of your bag.

Now, if you forget something, you'll have an emergency back-up.

Short trip no need for back-ups.
Shoes 9 miles away, at home.
Shirt 4 miles away, at home.

Now Juules! That's two slams in a week! :mad: First, you tell me that Padgett is the BC maven, (of course, I'm not sure what a "maven" is, so maybe that's okay) and now you tell me that you previously didn't think I was human. How insulting! :o

Nah, if you'll notice, the smiley above is gritting his teeth, so he didn't actually say anything to her. The "Got slacks. http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/frust.gif" portion of the program was actually entering the house, yelling "What the hell is wrong with the phone!?!" and then back out the door.

Yep, I left'em at home but if the phone had been answered, my wife could have brought them to me in time for the game. :(

I normally do. But, as I said, I went from FB to BBall in one day and barely had time to get the penalty flags out of and the v-neck into the bag.

I'm all set now.

Been there done that and it's always funnier when it happens to the other guy! :D

And if they were in your bag like they belonged.... :p

(Been there & done that too!)

Hey, blame it on Dan -- he's the one that told me I should be getting in touch with my inner male. Perhaps the wording of the only-human remark was too female, I'll try it again:

It's a relief to know that even Tony makes a mistake once in a while...

Huh? :confused:

Hmmm....didn't Mick recently tell us he reached his 30th anniversary?

Maybe it was the total served for 2 sentences, but time served concurrently?

If you get my meaning... :p

Chuck,
[Mind set] :Short trip no need for back-ups.
Shoes 9 miles away, at home. 2nd time
Shirt 4 miles away, at home. 1st time

Screwed up <u>twice</u> in two different games, before I got dressed.

Dan,
33
mick

4 + 4 + ???
 

His math is not all that intuitive either.
:p

Ah. I was thinking: Get to gym, no shoes or shirt. Drive 9 miles home and grab shoe bag. Drive 4 miles back toward game and realize the hangar isn't swinging in the back seat! :mad:

By the way, I saw Minnesota on the news this morning, but not Michigan. How much did you get U.P. there, anyway?

Here's what I'm wondering about !!!
 

That's a lot of Dewar's for a 14 year-old! Of course if you spent 3 years at it... maybe you could finish a case - share little with your friends.

;) I can see you all now - passing the Dewar's bottle and petting the bunny.

An official in the making!

Re: Here's what I'm wondering about !!!
 

Maybe this will clear up your confusion: my kids weren't emptying the case.

Get it now?

Chuck,
Only 5". Yesterday it rained all day at 28F. The White stopped in Duluth when Lake Superior must have dulled it, instead of fed it. Snowin' now. Lake effect snows tonight, it begins.
But it'll end in April! :)

Re: Here's what I'm wondering about !!!
 

I've seen -- errr, I mean I've heard of -- that movie, too.
