Physically fit/CPR

[chels]

Does anyone's board require a phsycial or a release from a physician to officiate?
Does anyone's board require CPR training to officiat?
Here's my reasons.
1. The game is much faster,players as well as the intro of the shot clock from highschool and up. In most areas there are only two officials doing highschool games and the officials are 2-4x older than the players. And unless they are anal like myself, they are probably an accident waiting to happen. I lift 5-7 days a week, run or bike 5 days as well. At 45 I have started having an annual stress test and blood work.
2. The other nite while playing full court with 9 other guys after the first game one of the guys, 48yrs old maybe
15-20lbs overweight, dropped over and died right on the court.Massive heart attack. One of the guys administered CPR until the EMT's arrived. They shocked him 3 times and then took him away saying he had a weak pulse.
I have approached my pres. and it will be suggested at our first meeting in the fall.
The CPR is not for us to administer to a player, rather you might find yourself in the locker or in the car and your partner may go down.
