I saw this on our local board's forum. I am sure he was happy to hear from you and hope that you told him the #1 rule in officiating.

Actually, I didn't. But I will now. Thanks for the memory jog (not to be confused with mammary jog).

It's amazing what you can find when you do a Google News Search on "basketball officiating"...

And what is even more amazing is that very few people try to improve things by doing what the author of the original author did. Go figure.

Send this to BktBallRef as it is from his state. I hope that he sends the young pipsqueak a response.

Actually, for the article to be accurate, just substitute the word "reporting" for the word "officiating".

Mammary jog is what happens when I wear the wrong bra onto the floor. Ouch.

Mark,

I brought a little humor to bear because in my very first game this year, our crew missed the jumper catching the ball. So the rest of the season has to get better from there.
