I have a bit of a trump card, especially with the fact that the next game is district playoffs. I mentioned in the e-mail, that I can get around without being the wheelchair, by using a walker. Also, how I am understanding things, when I go in to see the Orthopedic on Monday, I will be getting a hinged brace for my leg instead of the knee immobilizer.
I also mentioned in the e-mail, by previous experience, that it would be a better idea to have personnel at the table that have experience in table operations. I am hoping push doesn't come to shove where I have to quote federal regualtions.

ADA regulations cover both paid & volunteer positions when it comes to work/employment, as well as for spectators/leisure. I know ADA almost inside & out. Like I mentioned, I am hoping that I don't have to bring it up. Being that I am getting SSI shows that I have disability also the fact that I have authorization for disabled parking privliges. This happened before the injury. Technically & legally if a person doing scorebook is confined to a wheelchair due to health, they must be allowed access to the scorers' table.

And, FWIW, I'd quickly find a way to replace a shot clock operator/scorer/timer who thought he was indispensible.

My favorite sports injury..In the 1980's I was coaching rugby at the Air Force Academy. One of the players, a kid named Roger, comes off the field with the lower half of his face covered in blood. The following conversation took place:
Me: What happened, Roger. Roger: I bit my lip, Coach. Me: Where's your mouthguard? Roger: Didn't have it in. Me (after throwing water in his face and seeing the extent of the damage): You need to go to the hospital and get your lip sewn back on. Roger: I'll go after the game. Just rip my lip of coach so I can go back in. Me: What? Roger: Rip my lip off, Coach. Me: Okay. After 2-3 futile attempts to "rip his lip off" (it was very slimy and hard to get hold off...plus I wasn't actually trying, just humoring him)... Me: It won't come off, Roger. You need to go to the hospital. Roger: After the game, Coach. Somebody give me a mouthguard. 4-5 players on the sideline toss mouthguards at him and he picks one up and heads back into the game. We had to physically remove him and forcibly take him to the hospital. The kicker... he retired as a Lt Colonel, B-2 pilot. Rugby players...there you go. |

Generally, my wife & I have been rotating this year doing shot clock for the varsity contests. Since I could not access the scorers' table in the secondary gym (due to actually being up in the bleachers & climbing stairs), my wife was doing scorebaord/timer in the secondary gym. Generally she's only in the main gym doing scoreboard/timer for the JV game. Then she'd move over one seat to do shot clock for Girls' Varsity. The situation comes in where all the AD saw was the wheelchair, but never asked me if I could be mobile out of the wheelchair.

A person really has to be tough when flying a B-2 Stealth Bomber with Nuclear Payload.
I'm surprised the officials allowed him to continue playing after getting ripped open like he did. Quote:

Noticed that guy ended up a B-2 pilot. Wonder how many times the line from Airplane has been actually used: "...roger, Roger."

Well technically, there used to be only 2 Armed Forces: Army & Navy.
Air Force used to be the Army Air Corps. The Marines used to be an extension of the Navy. Now there's 5 Armed Forces: Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines, & Coast Guard.

Of course, and as a puke civilian, my respect goes out to all that have served. My grandfather was a career Marine so I have a special place in my heart for them.
