Head 'Em Off At The Pass ...

Last night - went to pick up jackets after everyone left the court and couldn't find them. Went to locker room - and there they are. Next to each jacket and nice cold bottle of water and a certificate for a sub from the local sub shop for our dinner after the game. I hope I go back. Really nice place that treats you very well!!

Sounds nice, but not as nice as the private prep school that we service that has cold beer waiting for us in the locker room.

It's there. It's certainly tempting.

Where do I sign up for this gig!? That's great.

Best I've had was at an elite Holiday Tournament a fews backs where we had the entire snackbar at our disposal - anything we wanted - soda, gatorade, water, pizza, hotdogs, pretzels, etc.

I was told by one of the vets they used to have an entire seperate room for the officials with food spread out for the entire day. Ah, the good ole days......

I went an observed a game a few weeks ago where there was a "Courtesy Room" for officials, bus drivers, etc. Since I wasn't working, I just sat and visited with the crew, but it was a pretty nice spread.

That's kind of like the setup we had for the 3A/4A Regionals last year with the green room being used for event staff & coaches.

However not gonna be seeing that anymore as the Regionals are a thing of the past thanks to a new playoff setup.

I worked an MS tournament a few weeks ago and after our games, we went to the locker room where they had hot moms doing lap dances for us.

Oh wait, that was just something I put on my New Year's resolution list. Darn.

I would ask the game manager or athletic director if he/she would kindly retrieve our jackets for us at the table.

Or if I was feeling stubborn, I'd just spend my halftime at the center circle. The coach will leave eventually.
