TV Announcement
I just wanted everyone to know that I will be officiating a basketball game on TV tomorrow afternoon/evening on Comcast Sportsnet Chicago. I am working a game in the City-Suburban (McDonald's I believe) Shootout at the University of Illinois-Chicago Campus at 4:30. I have the first of 3 games. I am not sure how national these games will be shown, but if you have Direct TV or some feed through Comcast stations you might be able to see it. I know many of those in Illinois can see it and probably other parts of the Midwest.

Just thought you guys should know.

Probably will not get it here in Indy. Good luck! How many TV timeouts will you have? If so, how exactly do you handle them and how many timeouts will both teams start with?

That is a good question, I am not sure and I have not been informed yet.

Peace

Nice assignment! What teams do you have? All competive matchups from what I read. Wish I could go, but working myself. Good luck!

Who assigns these? (initials if you like)

Even if you have an old black and white TV with analog signal if you cannot figure me out, then you need a new TV.

Peace

To me, a game like this, in Chicago, on a big stage, big crowd is equal to doing a State final. State assignment as we all know can be very political and while well deserved, includes other factors. Assignments like this are given to officials that can handle the game.

Congratulations. Be sure to review any state procedures for media timeouts. Also, be prepared for very, very, bright lights. The bright lights really threw me the first time I had such a game.

Question
Since McDonalds is the sponsor, do you get Chicken McNuggets at halftime?

No, but Malnati's pizza, some of the best in the Chicago area and a game fee that would make any DIII ref jealous.

Lou Malnati's cannot, and will not ever be beaten as far as deep dish is concerned.

Well, I know one thing for certain, Padgett would be proud of the shoes he wore. How do I know? Because I could see the logos from the other side of the arena! JRut, I assume you need a refill on your black magic marker?

And, to top it off, he didn't offer to share any of his pizza! Geeze!

Oh, and btw, I could tell great officiating from the other side of the arena too. Good job.
