Patches

Speaking of patches, just because an official has one doesn't neccessarily mean he/she can officiate. It just simply means they passed a test!!

Working 7th grade a&b games yesterday, my partner comes in fully geared up (IAABO patch & flag on shirt) 2 minutes before tip-off. As I'm changing from my greys to stripes, because he doesn't own greys, I ask him why he's wearing a HS shirt for a MS game? He says so coaches & fans will know he's certified & capable of working the games!

So I'm L & 3 minutes into the game an airball by A3 (visitors) he rebounds his own miss, I got nothing crowd goes nuts, the T comes in with the AT&T travel violation.
Fan says, that's why he has the patch on his shirt.

Perception is reality?

Dude. Ouch! Did you talk to him about that later?

BTW, middle school wears grey shirts around here?

I tried speaking with him about that, as well as not tossing the jump with his volleyball whistle in mouth & how the T should blow the FT dead when it doesn't strike anything, but he wasn't too receptive as he kept looking in the spot where the patch should be on my shirt.

He claims to be looking forward to attending our local HS camp this summer
Thank gawd!!

Couldn't get to it without a password. [shrug]
I've got to figure out what I'm going to do, though, as far as where to officiate (Denver or Co. Springs.)
