We talk about professionalism all the time, what are your ideas on it and how should they be implemented. I thought it was time to talk to our officials about it in a clinic that we are running. I have my own thoughts on the subject but would like to hear from you all out there. Any input would be most welcome.

Professionalism is different to different people. What we try to discuss with our group is basic. Accept an assignment, honor the assignment. Be on time, ideally 60 minutes before game time. Be in good shape mentally and physically. Know your limits (level of play and number of games). Keep casual conversation with the crowd to a minimum and preferably not at all. You are not the game but a function of it. Wear your uniform right, keep YOUR shirt tucked in, shoes clean, pants pressed (hopefully they fit right), hair combed and maintained (facial hair if any too). Have a good time.

Approach each game appropriately. I won't say the same, because not all games can be approached the same, but bitty ball should get the same level of respect and enthusiasm from its officials as the Final Four.

Maybe do a little role play with the vets dealing with coaches comments. This would show some guys who struggle with this, a professional way to communicate and difuse.
