Attaboy, NewNCref !

Congrats! Have a great season. Should be exciting for you.

Congrats, NewNCref! I remember each time I've "moved up", and it's always a good feeling. (Which will soon be replaced by terror when you actually get ready to officiate at that new level.

Good for you. I've said it many times, it is great to have your name called.

Congratulations on reaching the highest level of HS officiating - you now get to throw out varsity coaches!

Be sure to keep track of how many you toss so you can brag to your friends.

Aren't you going to remind him about your overtime rule?

Thanks for reminding me. Remember, you and your partner(s) are the only ones in the gym who don't care who wins. You only care that at the end of regulation time, one team has at least one point more than the other.

And never forget the first rule of officiating - tuck your whistle in your shirt before you take a leak.

Of course it may take a bit of work, but I think working the progressive levels of the state tournament are more steps that may be taken in high school hoops.
