Rule 9-1 art. 9

[BigJoe]

Bart
I am the head of a basketball officials association where there are only four varsity officials. We do only H.S. boys and girls varsity. One of our members took on a coaching position at our local school when the head coach was made to quit immediately due to health reasons. So that left us with three. Most of the games were done by myself and one of the members. We live in the sticks in Northern Minnesota where there are only 20 high schools within an hours drive from us. I know most of you are in larger cities with large associations. We don't have that luxury or liability however you want to look at it. I solicit all of our games through the athletic directors of the above mentioned schools. That is why I have the same partner most nights. When we run into problems is when we have a rescheduled game due to weather and we end up with three games in one night. We call on other associations for help in that situation.
