Let's see...weak will, strong appendages...

Uh, oh.

Ooh, wait - born in 1914. Whew, just missed.

Yeah, one out of three is close.

Hey, that'll make you a good living hitting in baseball.

As long as it's over more than one game.

(Now I'm beginning to see why the IHSA wants me to stay at home...)

Because you're a solid ambassador?

Hey, no where in the police report is there any mention of her hitting him.

Maybe a little slapping to try and wake him up.

(It's amazing how we can take the simplest of threads and flush it right down the crapper...)

Nope....walking around Illinois officiating basketball games.

Just because he was too pussilanimous to file charges.

Oh, wow, glad that got straighted out. I'd hate to be spreading false rumors.

1 outta 3 is ok. That's because 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

I won't be darkening the great state of Illinois this year (I got tired of the travel and my schedule is good enough in Wisconsin).

We are also doing the online meeting for hoops, second year. No accountability for actually watching the video yet as we STILL don't have individual logins to the WIAA Officials Center (all use the same username and password).

I like it. I travel for a living and every year I have 1-3 meetings I have to drive long distances for because I am on the road working during the 2 weeks in Wisconsin they actually hold the meetings. Naturally, I try to do more business travel during the offseason so I can work more games during the season.

That said, the WIAA has been extremely cooperative in this area. This year I had a private meeting arranged with one of the interpreters to meet the requirement. Last year during baseball season I ended up driving from Madison to Sterling, IL to get to a preseason meeting.

So, to somehow try to take this thread back in the actual direction that it started before the interesting detour we took , how are they going to make sure we actually watched the thing? Is there a code or something like the stickers at meetings now? You football guys who have been through it fill us in.

You will have to log on to your IHSA Webpage and watch the video. After the video is over, you redeem credit and I believe answer some questions that if I remember we not related to the actual video or rules being covered. It worked well for the most part. I wanted some clarification in a couple of areas. I only got that clarification when going to an actual rules meeting held by one of my associations.

Peace

For the most part I like the idea. Again, saves me another night of travel. I also like being able to ask questions. However, as long as they provide us with an e-mail to contact someone then I have no problem.

For football, we didn't have to answer any questions. We just watched the video and clicked at the bottom to redeem credit. Obviously, one could just click on the bottom and not watch the video.
