I've had two scrimmages so far, one college game on Nov. 6th (preseason tourney), and I start with 5 games this week. So it begins...

Less than 24 hours I have my first game of the season. College game and I am looking forward to it. It is about time the season gets here. I am tired of talking about basketball (between the classes and meetings) and not officiating it.

Peace

Found out today from the AD & Principal, season for me starts on December 7th, & apparently going to be getting some shirts made for use on game nights.

Will they say "Security/Crowd Control/Timer/Shot-Clock Operator/Gym Nazi/Taser Specialist" on the back?

Must be budgetary contraints.

Sorry to burst everyone's bubbles, but all they are going to say apparently will be "Event Staff".

The AD has no idea as to what the design of the shirts will be as of yet, so we could be getting t-shirts or polos, or even black & white striped shirts LMAO.

Concerning a separate horn for the scorer am thinking of doing something similar as I saw during the Div. 1 games on ESPN with different sounding horns meaning different things.

1) Well, t'hell with all of 'em, Chseagle. Wear you regular uniform.

Super Chseagle!!!





2) Great idea. Maybe you can get the Tijuana Brass to give you a hand. And maybe you can keep a mariachi band on hand too for those occasions when you think a "T" should be called. Go for it.

Sorry don't want to be adding to the large Hispanic population by adding a mariachi band as a mariachi band would mean drinking & partying. (not appropriate for HS athletics).

My normal uniform has been, b4 last year, a polo & slacks. Last year I was wearing the 4A Regional Event Staff shirt with slacks.

I didn't request that we get the shirts, it's something the AD decided to do.
(Apparently he got the idea after seeing us wear our 4A Regional Event Staff shirts).

Just concluded the 2nd week last night with 2 VB games. The second one wa a local team getting blown out of the gym [24-6 at one point], trailing by a similar margin at the half. They gradually got back into the game and the team in the lead missed a bunch of FTs, and the coach had NOBODY in the lane spaces for about 12-15 of them. You guessed it. I got to chop in time again. The local team won by about 4, so a last second 3 point attempt would likely have been insufficient unless it was made with a foul on the shot. So, no second OT. Glad they were 3 man crews.
