Way to Go Z. Glad to see you helping out other officials and mentoring them into higher levels. Big pat on the back to you.

That is a true compliment, no jokes intended.

I've heard of it happening much more recently that even that. 2 years ago, I think it was at Lehigh University. The official scorer was also a D3 ref. One of the assigned officials couldn't make it for whatever reason. This guy had his stuff and jumped in to work the game.

Thanks SmokeEater,

I got my first varsity games because some officials put a call in to the assignor on my behalf after working with me. Just returning the favor. :)

Chuck was a scorekeeper?? I don't believe it! There's no way he was tall enough to see over the table.

That's why they make booster seats (no, I'm not talking about the luxury boxes). My kids use them at restaurants and they work great!
