At least he had the integrity to be honest about the games he works...not pretending that they are something they're not.

If an official works a rec league with 17/18 year-olds, that doesn't make him a varsity ref any more than working 20/21 year-olds makes someone a college ref!

Since we're into personal histories, here's mine FWIW.

I was born on November 3, 1948, the day after the presidential election at Chicago Lying-in Hospital. My home town newspaper, the Chicago Tribune, published the infamous "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline the morning I was born. The hospital is at the University of Chicago and my mother always said I was a lab experiment gone wrong.

We moved to the suburb of Chicago Heights when I was in 3rd grade and I grew up there. I went to Bloom HS (class of 65). Other "famous alumni" include Jerry Colangelo and Jim Bouton. Also, Gary Alan Carr, who was convicted of murder, extortion and kidnapping in conjunction with the Madeline Murray O'Hare family murders a few years ago. Gary and I were buddies in Jr. HS. He ran a stolen bike ring in 7th grade and actually left HS his first year to spend the rest of his boyhood in juvie detention.

In HS I played tennis and was a kicker on the football team (not actually a real player). I started HS at age 12 and was elected president of our Junior Achievement company. At the time, I was the youngest person in the organization's history ever to hold that position.

My life changed dramatically when, while attending Northern Illinois University, I was abducted by aliens and probed for a few years. I was returned to earth where I was not capable of performing any functions other than being an official.

Someday I hope to return to human form.

It is a shame that some have discouraged KSref from continuing to post on this forum. The argument that developed was silly. I hope that he continues to read the forum and perhaps someday will change his mind and post again. Different viewpoints and opinions help all of us.

Best wishes to KSref for a good season.

Couldn't have said it better. Thanks NV

Are you talking about his stance that dunking in pre-games should be ignored by officials? And his comment that if he was still coaching, he'd make sure that anyone that called a "T" for a pre-game dunk would never work in his gym again?

The argument that developed about that was silly?

The argument about what a coach in Kansas is allowed to do in their coaching was a completely different matter. That's why we e-mailed trying to get some kind of definitive answer. Well, we never did get an answer of any kind. We did get a response from a Kansas official that said that they do have some related language in place, but basically in real life the coaching box in Kansas was being called just about the same way as it was being called in other states---->they don't care what the coach does as long as he stays in the box and leaves the officials alone.

I was referring to the whole "don't tell me what to post" mess.

This story sounds suspicious to me. Who would have voted for you for Junior Achievement president?

The year of our births - 1948.
The state of our high schools - Illinois. (Bloom -1965) (Effingham - 1966).

I know this thread may be dead, but I did notice this today when reviewing some stuff for the upcoming season. This is taken off of the KSHSAA website from the page found here: http://www.kshsaa.org/BASKETBALL/PDF...ouncements.pdf

COACHING BOX
The Executive Board has approved the
optional six-foot (6’) coaching box for the
2007-08 season. Only the HEAD COACH
may be off the bench in front of his/her
seat within the confines of the designated
coaches’ box to give instructions to his/
her players and/or substitutes. The head
coach may:
• Stand to instruct (coach) then,
• Sit down
• Not kneel, squat, pace or stand
during a live ball.
Coaches not complying are to be assessed
the appropriate penalty of a technical
foul. Once either a direct or indirect “T”
is assessed, the coach(es) MUST comply
with provisions of Rule 10-5-1 and 10-5-2
for the remainder of the game. Officials
SHALL file the appropriate report on
Loss of Coaching Box Privilege Form
(2007-08 Blue). The form may also be
submitted online by logging into the officials
website.

*wow*
That's what I call keeping the coach in check! 6 feet huh...

I bet it takes the fun out of it though & it must be one helluva transition from HS ball to the college level.

FWIW - our product that year was custom designed doormats! No, I am not kidding. The following year, we sold first aid kits. My junior year, I left J.A. because something else was taking up too much of my time. It's called "girls". :)

Where did you stay on campus? I lived in the Theta Chi house as an independent. I never really wanted to join a frat but I didn't want to live in a dorm with all the "common people", so this seemed like a good compromise.

BTW - where the heck is Effingham and what took you so long to graduate HS? ;)
