thats pretty neat ... wish other states would just automatically put that out.

Have to disagree with number 11:

"Maintain your sense of humor and composure."

You should never display a sense of humor on the court. Officials should be serious at all times. Humor has absolutely no place out there. We're officials, not comedians.

You can have a sense of humor while not playing the fool.

#3..It has been suggested in our area to administer all throw-ins (except after a made basket), from the sideline going no lower than free throw line extended. Administering throw-ins from the baseline just puts the referee in tough position in case of a quick steal.

#6...administer free throws from trail position...can see the free thrower's feet, and most rebounding action. Also, as above, in the event of a quick transition, you're not behind everybody.

and, in general, our guideline is top of the key to top of the key.

Having been registered with the KSHSAA for 8 years now I've never seen a publication about a "1 man crew", and I pay decently close attention to what KSHSAA puts out. Not that I disagree with what was said about working in a 1 man crew, I'd just take this with a grain of salt in regards to being endorsed by KSHSAA.

Pre-game meeting with the coaches...

"Good afternoon coaches! My partner is not here so I'll be officiating this one all by myself. If we have any other absences, such as the scorebook or the clock operator, I would be more than happy to fill those positions as well. In case of one of you being ejected, I'm sure that I can become ignorant to all the rules and yell at myself as needed. Thanks, lets have a great game!"

I could see doing a 1-man crew for a junior high game but any other game would be pretty much impossible. Who is going to ask the players who touched it last, seriously? I would be embarrassed to ask such a thing from a player. Maybe that's just me and my stinking pride getting in the way though. Interesting article wanja

The recommendations are well thought out, likely to be useful to some officials and therefore worth sharing.
