First off, congrats on working a big game like that. I'm sure it was a blast. Personally I don't think high school basketball needs to be broadcast nationally. I don't think its good for the game. There's too much money, hype, etc surrounding athletics already without putting high schoolers on national tv.

Junker, Tom's post was from last season when he lived in the DC area and worked an Oak Hill game. Tom was not in last night's game. He lives waaaaay down south now-a-days.

I'm thinking JRut may know who last night's officials were (and no, not just because they were all African-American ).

Yup, you're right. I didn't read it carefully. I still don't think high school games belong on national TV though.
