There's been a lot of teasing (good-natured, I admit) about some of us having been around in the Naismith era. You are probably familiar with the Gen. McArthur quote that, "Old soldiers never die - they just fade away."

How about suggestions for finishing this thought, "Old referees never die - they just......"

Best answer (as judged by me, of course) gets to pretend he's Dave for a day.

More of a football one, but:

Old refs don't die - they just become replay officials.

1)Old ref's never die, the older they get the better they were!!!
2)... start to suck!

3)..."destripe".

4)wish they were young again!

5) (most scary) go to work in the announcers booth.
