Slightly OT: Gift idea for first state tourney?

[JRutledge]

First of all, congrats to your dad for his accomplishment. Tell him to make all official's proud.

Not sure there is any one thing you can get someone for these situations that would work for everyone. When I worked the Finals I wanted family and friends to be around and that was it. Your dad might be a little different and if you want to get him something do that. Just get him something he will remember because this is such a unique accomplishment.

There really is no right or wrong answer. You could have some kind of pin or jewelry made. You could give him an autographed basketball from fellow officials or family members (guys that work the state finals in my state do this on the boy's side). You know your dad best, he probably would love anything you got him and your support at the games.

Peace
