Can someone be sure that Chuck Elias sees this!?!?! He'd be so totally, totally perfect. And besides, he'd be so totally, totally open to forum people!!

I think Chuck would be great for this.

I can think of a few others that might be good as well.

This must be why Jurassic Referee has stopped posting. He's too busy writing his letter of application, and updating his resume. It must be difficult to remember to put items on your resume that happened in the nineteenth century. He also has to get two letters of recommendation. I'm guessing that he will use an old letter of recommendation that he already has from Dr. James Naismith, and he will probably ask Billy Packer for the other one.

Since he has to proofread the rules manuscript, maybe he can get our friendly, neighborhood, grammar guy, and spelling guy, to help him.

He has to develop annual survey and experimental rules survey. I know that he doesn't like polls, so that may be a problem for him.

He has to have the ability to relate effectively with officials and coaches. He did have some problems relating to some officials, like Old School. By the way he treated some coaches on this Forum, that may also be a problem.

Otherwise, he'd be perfect for the job.

I'm not ready to hang 'em up just yet. I agree that should make sure Jurassic knows about it, though.

I'd bet that prohibition refers to being active at the NCAA level, which JR is not.

Mark Padgett · #7 (**permalink**) Mon Oct 13, 2008, 08:31pm

I nominate Billy Packer.

We are talking about on the court, not from the press table. FAIL.

8. A candidate should not be an active coach, official, or coordinator of officials. Yes! He got one!

We'll keep your resume on file, Billy.
