This kid is amazing to me he averages 40.5 pts per game. He is the leading scorer in high school bbal this year. He had a game 2nite here in Ohio and he had 39 pts at the half. I didnt see him live but his game was shown on our local satellite/cable provider.He is # 2 in Ohio for all time scoring ,passing Lebron James. I'm glad he is going to Ohio State next year. Thoughts anyone? BTW ...I'm a newbie here 1st year ref and loving it!!!!

The more you officiate, the less you will care about individual players.

That's the one.

Married his high school sweetheart. Took over the varsity program from an ailing coach and ended up winning the State Championship. Got run over by a float in the victory parade. There's a memorial to him right by the stoplight in the middle of the town.

It brings a tear to my eye whenever I think of it. Alas, Jon Deibler. A great American!

I heard on Fox News that Hillary Clinton was driving that float, she actually chased him down 2 blocks before catching up with and dispatching poor Jon...apparently Jon Deibler looks a hell of a lot like Bill Clinton and Jon's mistake was he had a young cutie on his arm at the time...

I heard that Jon had a cigar too, but they're trying to keep all of that out of the papers. There's no need to tarnish his legacy.

Jon Diebler, we hardly knew ye!

Welcome to the board, partner. We talk officiating here, not players.

It's such a shame, too. He had such a promising young career. He was a great guy, too.
It's true, it's true.

It's true, it's true.

It's nice to see people from all over our great country responding so well in their grief. Special remembrance funds have already been set up in Jon's memory. Donations can be made through this web site also, c/o me. Part of the monies received will go to consoling the grieving widow. I'll take care of that part too. I'm a sharing kind of guy, as you well know.

RIP, Jon. Gone, but never forgotten.
