My Yearly Trek

[cardinalfan]

Waiting on our regional tournaments to start this week, so no game last night. Made my yearly trek down to the elementary school to watch some friends' kids play.
It humbles me to know that's what I was calling 15 years ago.

I've always wanted to go down before the game and ask the young officials why they are there.
1) A little extra cash?
2) Trying to pick up chicks?
3) Beats video games and homework?
4) Working off community service for a DUI?

But if any of them said they'd like to get into officiating, I'd like to work with them. A few mechanics. Maybe a rule or two. Just never had the heart to ask.
True to form, it was wild. The local school has decided to quit keeping score (don't get me started), but there was a crazy dad there who would yell the score each time one of the teams made a basket! Same guy yelled "three seconds" all night.
Fun stuff!
