You try to do what it takes to get the upper level games. You read and read the rules, you know them forwards and backwards, go to camps, you work in front of the mirror to practice your mech. You ask other officials to give you feed back. People in this forum talk about how important appearance is. Beltless pants, high gloss shoes, no facial hair, etc. Then can someone tell me why over weight officials are getting the varsity games.
Last Night I went to watch a local high school basketball tournament. Championship game. The three officials must of had a combined weight of 750lbs or more. Their guts hung way over their pants and their shirts were stretched way past the limit the manufacture ever intended the fabric to withstand. These guys were slow, out of breath, sweating like 3 stuffed pigs. They must be great officials.

The great official part, or the rest?
I had a real runner of a 3-man game tonight. Home team scored about 90. For about 3 minutes in the third quarter it was non-stop up and down from trail to lead. My gut stayed in my pants and I didn't get winded, for those of you that care. I did sweat a little. I'll try to do better next time.
However, I did smack into some too-cool-to-use-the-walkway HS kid who decided to walk out of the gym during a live ball and use the playing court to do so. I was going from C to C quick on a break and didn't see him until after I smacked right into him. Bounced right off of me. Good thing I'm not thin as a rail, huh?
