I won't play "mother-may-I" with coaches/ADs, either -- when I find out they want all kind of approval to do it, then they'll just get the 2 officials they were contracted.
Wonder if pay went up for table people or school admins who work games over past three years?


Around here, a middle school teacher can sit by gym entrance surfing Internet acting as 'security' while munching snacks for 60 bucks or so for two games.

And yet the schools only complain about the cost of a third official. It's OK if an "insider" gets paid, but some outsider who comes in to referee? Heh.

Could you just have this guy then put on a stripe shirt and maybe call a line or two out of bounds during the game to earn his money?
