I have had the pleasure of officiating BB and FB for the Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf. During the pregame of one of the BB games, I used the ASL manual alphabet to introduce my partner and myself. The AD, who was there to interpret the pregame instructions for the captains, told me afterwards he was glad I did that. He told me that if they thought I could sign, the wouldn't swear at me in sign language. We had a good time and a good game.
