It's nice that this evaluator has soooo many people lined up to work for him. Glad I'm not one of them.
Well, don't move to Oregon, then, if you want to work college games. No one here will put up with it.

unless yellow has the arrow, then you throw your count off.
1-yellow arrow, 2yellow arrow, 3 mellow yellow, 4. (lol)

We are actually encouraged by our assignor to use the whistle in the pocket trick.

Keep an arrow in my pocket? I used to use a roll of quarters but switched to the whistle after being told I was beginning to scare a few parents. Did I mention that I wear size 17 shoes?

No plans to. If I move back to the NW, it will be back to Seattle (I took that season off from basketball as I had surgery on my ankle and I moved after one year, so no hoops there, lots of baseball, though).

I don't even carry a spare whistle on the court, anyway. I rarely even look at the arrow on an alternating possession -- I keep that little bit of info right in my head.

I'm just tired of evaluators in certain areas of the country that care more about this crap than how well you officiate a game. Fortunately for me, I don't live in such a place.

It's not really a problem. I occasionally chew tobacco while I'm officiating. Comes in handy at times too. Coach says something I don't like-----> ptuuiii! Shuts 'em right up usually.
God...I really like this one! You got me laughing so hard my stomach aches!

I forego the tobacco entirely -- I just stare at his pants for a while and then barf on his shoes.

Sorry. I was thinking about my game last night -- lots of walking, over the backs, and reaching ins to deal with :)

And they let you do varsity ball?

Next, you'll tell us that you go to the game already dressed - in belted slacks! :p
