A big thank you...

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.

Imagine an image of Charlie Brown and a big "Sigh" in the word balloon over his head. Or maybe I would have used the image of Good Ole Charlie with a big "Good Grief" in the word balloon over his head. I wish that they had some kind of patch that I could use to help me get over this image addiction. Maybe if I just print an image, and glue it to my upper arm? Yeah. Now which image should I use? Maybe the one of me, with my twin brother, Billy Mac, from the NFHS basketball forum?

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.
