IHSA Officials
 

It looks like the IHSA will go to online rules interpretation meetings. Check your webpage for more information.

That's one of the best ideas since sliced bread. (Although I'm not sure how the IHSA was involved in bread-making :confused:.) Anyway, this eliminates the need for travel to the meeting site and the time involved away from home. One of our local associations has always hosted a rules meeting, but it was usually the last or second-to-last meeting in the state. One year I had to miss our meeting, and ended up having to drive an hour and a half to the last available meeting. Anything that help us get the requirements in, and still spend more time at home, I'm all for it.

Now, any chance we can referee a game from our living room, through the internet? THAT would be an improvement.

In your case, that's probably true.

I believe Mr. Schwenk just gave you the finger again.

Rut,
When did you find this out?:eek:

I noticed yesterday. The information is on the top of the IHSA Website.

So, do like this idea or not? I'm not so sure that its such a good idea for newbies.

Generally, I think its a bad idea. In both, New Jersey and Pennsylvania both coaches and officials attend the interpretation meetings. Its a chance for new faces to be seen and old faces to be reacquainted. Also, particulary for new officials, I like this early season commitment to physically showing up. I would rather have an exception for those with legitimate reasons for not physically being present.

That is not a functionality of our system. Rules meetings were all over the place and for some they had to travel. We see new and older officials at association meetings and camps. And we do not have to report to specific sites either. We go to whatever site we chose to and what date we wanted to.

Peace

The reason I do not like this idea as much, is because I would like to be able to ask questions and confirm information vague rules and mechanics that tend to come up. That being said it worked rather well in football. The difference is in football you work with the same group of people on a regular basis. It does not work that way in basketball.

Didn't he get hit by a trolly?

Yea, he was. But it was what he did after he was hit that's so remarkable. He sure had some strong, er, appendages.

I was thinking more of a weak will.

He probably didn't even have a will. How much money could he have after only playing 1 game in the majors?

Oh, wait a minute...that's not what you meant.

I wonder if weak wills run through families?

Are you worried? I heard he had an illegitimate child running around Illinois officiating basketball games.
