Technical AFTER the Game

I've never been at a school where a room wasn't available. Varsity officials get a room and I've worked JV and have asked for a place to change.

Maybe I'm spoiled because I don't work JV/Freshman games anymore, but I would insist upon a secured room to put my stuff. Every school I've been to the JV officials share the room with us. Some choose to come dressed and not use the room, but if a confrontation then happens, i see it as their fault.

JV's here in my area of North Carolina wear their shoes out of the gym. We are also expected to remain in the gym until the Varsity officials are on the court. [/B][/QUOTE]

You wear officiating shoes outside? In the elements?

Expected to remain on the court? Jeez, that's horrible. They may as well put bullseyes on you.

Where I live, the JV officials coming in to the locker room to shower is our cue that it's time to take the floor.
