I don't miss the traffic one bit but do miss the Cubs!

I'll be going opposite direction tonight, live/work in Gurnee (basically), going to Schaumberg..not snowing yet, debating if I should not push my luck and just hit the road now.. I know everyone thinks they have the worst traffic..I won't say Chicago is the worst, but I will say I pity those who have it worse!

For me, I use Rule 10, Section 3, Art 6 - Disrespectfully addressing or contacting an official or gesturing in such a manner as to indicate resentment.

When I called a foul on this player, for me his actions were a no brainer. He got demonstrative and theatrical and made a scene by yanking out his jersey for everyone in the gym to see. Not in my game. I'd do it again every time. And, as I said before, another official apparently beat me to it as he was T'd up for his same action/reaction to a call he didn't like in another game. He will either learn this is behavior will not be tolerated......or not.

Just finished up 2-man Girls V. Good game with two evenly matched teams - score and fouls stayed even until home team broke it open in the 4th period. Visitors only used two TO's in the whole game.

Two games tomorrow - Girls JV in a.m. then 3-man Girls V in the evening.

I wound up working a boys' JV game alone tonight. First-year AD got his officials mixed up and told the official I was supposed to be working with that he wasn't needed.

Visitors got out of the gate fast and cruised to a 25-point win (and shot at least 70% from the floor in the process). Wound up calling at least 25 fouls all-told--including five on the home team's star player. Neither coach made a peep.

Whoever posted those guidelines for working solo--thank you. I didn't follow them to the letter, but a few specific points made this experience a lot better than it could've been.

Central Illinois was beautiful today.... hit just over 50. Had a boys V game. 42degrees when I left the game and drove by the bank in that town. Blow out but easy and fun.

Girls' Varsity, 3-Whistle crew. First time where I was the only male official on the game (not that it matters) kinda cool. Easy game to work. Bought the ladies a drink after we were done
