Welcome to the cynics club. Next week is your turn to bring the donuts and coffee to the meeting.

Yep, I agree with Ignats75.

I may miss the meeting; could you e-mail me my donut?

Eat hearty. This ought to make it easier for you to work the baselines while I handle mid court.

Geesh, if I eat all those, I'll be staying at that one baseline, while you handle the rest of the court.

Although, if it's a Sat. morning CYO game, I suppose I can do that...

I propose a 4-man crew. Two trails, two leads, no running. Maybe a couple of folding chairs.

Good idea.

What's the mechanic on taking your chair across the lane? Do you fold it first, or just carry it as is?

You place chairs on each side. Better yet, just bounce/toss across the lane when necessary.

You also have to switch every 5 minutes so the trails get a chance to sit down.

This brings up an question of ethics.

Coach of team A buys the 4 whistle crew a box of donuts and a box -o- joe. Should we refuse it? Or accept it but risk the temptation to 'repay' the favor at some critical point in the game...

Will you stop merging threads!!! I'm gonna get so confused I'm going to start quoting Old School, and then I will have to resign.

Nah, they have chairs in front of the table

the lower the level and the less important the game the less i think about it after

It may be a lower game but to those kids that is just as well as a NCAA championship game. IMO every game I do if I didn't do something correct It bothers me what ever the level of game it may be. I look at those lower level game a place to improve my skill and mechanics. In most cases those games is where I learn.

The leads get to eat and drink while sitting on the folding chairs. The trails have to manufacture a whistle when they are hungry/thirsty/tired of standing. (Kinda like how the NCAA TV officials manufacture a cheap whistle JUST AFTER getting under the 16/12/8/4 minute media timeout marks. )

Four-person crew? Worrying about when the folding chairs rotate? You guys are way overthinking this. You only need two officials and two folding chairs (and the folding chairs don't need to move ... at least not more than 14 feet). Everyone knows from where the "best looks" in the gym come.
