How many
Saw Steve Welmer working his 111th game tonight, wow.
It got me to thinking what is the right number of games for an official to work. I worked about 60 games this year and in retrospect it was too many. I probably should cut back next year but that is easier said than done. My question is how many games or dates do people on this board work and how do they determine the "right" number for them. |

Seriously, there have been years that I have worked fewer, and it's been too many. This year it feels right. I can tell when it's starting to be too much by my attitude. If I cringe when I remember that I have a game, it's too many. If I start watching the clock, wishing it would run faster, that's a warning sign. If I start to frequently lose focus during games, that's another warning sign. Oh, and if I come home at the end of the night and my wife, my kids, and the furniture is gone...that's her way of telling me it's too many

I don't know exactly how many games, but I worked 52 or 53 nights this season, at least 2 games a night, a few 3 game nights and a few 4's.

I had 38 HS games....(half of them in "3-Person").....5 college games....6 post-season tournament assignments. That was about what I do year-to-year. (Been doing this for 34 years.)
Also do some "local" community AAU, club & traveling tourneys (10) when dates permit. Got to be careful that you don't set yourself up for injury....especially the "older" you get! peace!

208 for me, which is kind of low, actually, compared to past seasons. I have averaged about 240 - 260 for the past 10 seasons or so. Of course, my first year with Dr. Naismith, I worked only 10 games because that's all that took place. BTW - Jimbo (that's what I called him) needed a lot of help with his mechanics.
