How soon do you arrive?

While I like you, you aren't Padgett, even though you sure seem to be trying to be.

Just my opinion, though. Don't take offense.

Nobody can be a Mark Padgett. I thought for sure that he would stop posting during the television writer's strike a while ago. I'm not trying to be like him, I'm just trying to be me, trying to improve my basketball officiating knowledge, and have a little fun at the same time. No offense taken.

No worries. I'm not a moderator, nor do I mind OT postings. Actually, I don't know why I posted what I did, maybe not enough caffeine this morning.

Since I am a first year official I have been doing only Freshman, or Sophomore games which means that they start at either 3:30 or 4:00. Because of the early leave I have to take from work I try to arrive around 30 minutes early. I have had partners that will only show up 10 minutes before the game. Drives me nuts!

Thanks, but I'm not even in the same league as Mark Padgett. Didn't you understand my recent post? Let me rephrase it for you:
