Another point here which goes to Mr.JR point is working multiple games. I will speak for myself here. After several games, my concentration starts to fall off, and I forget which team had the last jump ball. So I do the rubber band as a failsafe to me forgetting. Of course, this is not needed in a regulation game because table personal takes care of this. So in a regulation game you are right, we can not have a rubber band on our hands. We also are not supposed to have on rings either but I see a lot of officials with their rings on even at the state playoff's. Last edited by bob jenkins; Wed Apr 18, 2007 at 07:37am. |

Wow - an entire website dedicated to a single product? God bless the internet.
I tend to agree - seems it would be easier to keep track in your head than use this thing. I'll use the whistle as backup for games where there is no arrow (or the scorer/timer doesn't know how to use it), but for HS and above, I'm watching the table.

Wedding bands are acceptable and its up to the individual Association on that kind of stuff. But FWIW, a medalion hanging from your thick gold chain would draw a lot of attention!!!!! Bling - Bling!!!!

Low-level games where the official scorekeeper makes a mess of the arrow are the perfect place to practice arrow management. IMO, nothing screams "rookie" or "sloppy veteran" like the rubber band technique or something similar. I've been to camps where an observer comes over and takes a rubber band (or whistle) away from a camper and tosses it in the nearest garbage can.

I am with Z on this one as well. I have never seen an official of any significance use such a device. I have seen people who are not so knowledgeable use a whistle from time to time. But I am talking about someone that might actually work a varsity game, but are not at all in the top echelon. I have never seen a college official even try such a thing and I have never been to a camp where this was advocated. So maybe this is something that is allowed where you live. Where I live you would be laughed at big time by the so called big wigs that work games or assign them.
Peace

What are you going to do when you forget to move the whistle (or device)?

I agree with Bob J's original comment, as well as Z's and JRut's. |

It is astonishing how someone can be so completely wrong, with such consistency. I personally think (if it were possible) harder than if you were completely right all of the time. congrats! You are an entertaining read. |
