High School Sports

[Jurassic Referee]

There's a good article in USA Today this morning on the evolution of high school basketball into television programming.

Some personal thoughts:
- A high school can and will set a more rigorous schedule than the NBA.
- The same high school will ignore the fact that there are exams scheduled that week for it's players.
- If a high school is getting $25,000 for a tv game, does anybody really think that high school actually cares if that game is regarded as being more important than exams?
- Len Elmore, as usual, stands out like a beacon in the darkness from the babble of talking heads on ESPN. He is one of the few there that I will actually listen to. The others have MUTE ME printed on their foreheads imo.
