I learned this lesson this year in particular. I hydrate all day long on game days. Then again, most of my games are between 6500 and 7500 feet altitude.

Before, half-time, and after. Never during.

I usually go with water, but go with one of the "ade" type drinks if I have more than two or three games.....

I haven't felt a need to hydrate during the game. I guess it would just feel weird. But, if I felt I was getting into trouble for some reason I would probably go to the side during a timeout.....it's never come up yet and I really have never seen it.

What about eating a Snickers bar on the court during the warm-ups?

Inside joke or just saw it somewhere?

Two-fold.

1. Reference to the Superbowl commercial.

2. An official in our association did just that this season.

I would say that if the official is a diabetic and felt the need to regulate his blood sugar before a game, better a Snickers than the result without one.

I have a regular partner who has an administration license and will probably be an AD/assistant principal before long. He swears he will have people assigned to take care of the officials and will have water brought out on quarter breaks and during 60-second timeouts (like they do during breaks in NCAA D-1 games).

I do an occasional underclass game, Saturday morning stuff and have no problem grabbing a cup of water at the quarter or timeout on occasion.

Kids games, I might have a water bottle around table.
