We have a guy like that. Never on time. Used to arrive with his 3 kids in tow and can't understand why he is not getting better games and moving up. No one care to officiate with him. He's not a bad official - just always late so you can never pre-game etc. His tardiness makes a poor reflection on his partners who are there doing their jobs correctly!

During Christmas vacation week, I had a partner show up for an afternoon varsity game as the anthem was playing. He was fully dressed and ready to go, but it was an awkward first half.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but...... this has nothing to do with basketball. The same people are always late for dinner, practice, games, meetings, doctor's appointments, etc. While occasionally there are some "reasons" or legitimate "excuses", most times its inconsiderate folks who don't plan properly and think the world revolves around them.....

As a coach for many yrs, in many different sports, I always knew what player would be late for the game - regardless if it was 1 PM on a Sunday, 9 AM on a Saturday, or 8 PM on a Tues. I always felt sorry for the kids who were the pawns and had no choice. Shame.

OK, I'm off my soap box.....
