Here we go.....question of the day...
Have you ever worked your high school alma mater? There is a logic I hear for regular season that says: As long as I am not employed there or have kids there, it's ok. Thoughts? |
Yes. I graduated in 1978, have no particular ties to the school, and they were the visiting team for a game up here.

Similair post active right now http://www.officialforum.com/thread/23583 Our association policy does NOT consider your alma mater as a closed out site. We review Do you work there? Do you work in the school district? Do you have Direct family memebers attending there? |
I have in the past and I will in the future. I graduated over 15 years from the school. I do not know any more people at my former HS than I do with other schools. I also have not been a booster or in any way supported financially the sports programs. I see nothing wrong with working your former HS or even college. People just know I went there as well as the many other people know other officials attended those schools.
Peace |
Yep - I have 4 games scheduled there the first half of this season. I don't think it's an issue, since I graduated 36 years ago.....(class of 69 - what a year!).
|
I still have some ties, I figured I just scratch it and not worry about it. There are plenty of other schools in the area that I can work. No big deal.
|
I ref games at my old high school every season. I graduated 25 years ago. I do have kids that currently attend the school but none of them play basketball. Nobody has a problem with it.

RE:
I don't see a problem officiating at your old alma mata.

I was still a fairly new official at that time and, looking back, I was so concerned about wanting to call a good game that I went the other way and was not happy with my performance. Now, I have no ties to my alma mater...coaches and most teachers are no longer there. If I draw one of their games, I just go work it like any other. |
Yes, I work at my alma mater 2 or 3 times per season. I graduated from there in 1981 and have no ties to the school (other than that I still hold one obscure bball record there).

I've worked at mine about 4 times and I only graduated in 2001. Never worked a boys game since up until last year I would have still played with some of the players, but I have worked girls and will work one come in January. I won't work boys now for 3 more years either because my brother starts as a sophomore for the boys team.
|
My alma mater is closed, so it's not a problem.
|
I have worked my alma mater (Boys team ) 1 time and my old high school coach is still coaching there. ( He also happens to be my dad).
They were playing a team that my lil brother is the head coach of. I have worked the girls team a few times over the past few years |
I get JV games and below, however I highly doubt I will ever get a varsity boys game, unless it's a very last minute thing or problem. I've done a girls game though. However, I know that in my area they usually like to hire officials from out of the area to come in and work the boy's games, which is fine by me.
