No armed guards or TSA screening procedures.

Had a photographer approach me earlier this week about taking flash photography. I told him not during FTs and if the coaches were fine, I was okay with it. He said he would be wide i.e. near the wall and by the arc and would stay out of the way.

He should have thrown away his film [or deleted his memory card]. It was an ugly game and deserved no photographic record.

Ha! By the way, state tourney in my state means the whole tournament. I imagine for finals downstate, they may have had a sheriff Fife at the door.

They actually put us in a classroom close to court as locker room was pretty far away. We could see him knocking on glass window as we pretty much ignored him

Leave it to the Europeans for something like this.

Go use a restroom over there & you'll end up with a member of the opposite gender in there with you.

He was officiating a women's game between a Canadian college (home team) and a national team from one of the Scandanavian countries (visiting team). Prior to the start of the game it was discovered that the Vistor's were wearing their "home" jerseys. It was decided that the Home team would lend the Visitor's team their "away" jerseys. It was thought that the Visitor's would retire to the locker room to change jerseys, but the Visitor's decided to change jerseys at courtside. There was a collective sucking of air out of the arena as everybody discovered the most of the Visitor's not only did not wear sports bras, they did not wear bras at all. :eek:

It's been a while since I've been to Europe, but I used to travel there regularly, and that never happened.

Me either, and I am in at least 2-3 European countries every summer.

Well I have only been the one European country and that did not happen. But then again that was in an airport. Nothing like that in Africa either. ;)

Peace

Filed under "other endline problems" ... We were given some instructions at the beginning of the year to meet with the cheerleaders before the game so that we didn't have collision (or sportsmanship) problems.

I would guess then that the unisex restrooms in Europe are being phased out then.

Not That There's Any Thing Wrong With It ...

Damn good thing too. Those unisexuals were taking over the continent.

Methinks you heard rumor of a fad that never really caught on.

The only unisex restrooms anywhere I've been are single hole units with locks on the door.
