I was sorely tempted to ask if she was planning on running around at our college's games, squirting that hand sanitizer on the officials' hands.

Nothing at all wrong that suggestion. I have a bottle that's as small as a trial shampoo bottle. I haven't taken it on the floor but I'm considering it. I'll definitely have it in the locker room. Also, I'll be bumping fists when possible instead of shaking hands.

Hey. If it's good enough for these two, then it's good enough for basketball officials.

I can assure you that is not my inspiration.
