somewhat OT - what's wrong with the coaches at this school?

It's very interesting to me that 30 years ago when I started all this officiating stuff we measured the length of a road trip by the amount of beer we needed to buy for the drive home.

My how so much has changed over the years! I truely would not even consider drinking after a game if I had to drive anywhere after. Once I am back in my hotel room, I will have a night cap.

My first games were 23 years ago. We'd have the first round cracked open before we left the school parking lot.

Times have changed -- for the better in this regard.
