I just go right to Gatorade thermos at end of bench with all the cups.

Having said this, I probably do it 2, 3 times a season. Much ado about nothing. If I'm really parched, I grab a gulp.

Heck, sometimes there's not even a school official there to meet and walk us to the appropriate official's room before game time, much less being given access to a bottle of water.

LOL. Frankly, this is one reason I refuse to head to the locker room without talking to someone first. I will always find someone to let me in, even if I know where I'm going (2nd season in this city, so I don't always know where the room is). The one time I showed up at the same time as a partner who knew the school and we didn't find a school official to let us in, it turned out we were an hour early and didn't know until we walked onto the empty court.
