Clocks should come with a "dead-man's switch" so they automatically stop if the operator gets knocked off the chair.

Are you endorsing the blue font?

And stop giving the head table official (who's in the chain of command, of course) on this forum ideas. He'll be emailing the WIAA with this idea before lunchtime and forcing them to double their first aid kit's supply of digoxin.

I never stated where I was on the chain of command, for all anyone knows I'm the last man on the totem pole.

Anywho I keep my own supply of pain medications with me so no need.

We should make this play a standard part of every sub-varsity game. It would, at least, force student timekeepers to keep one eye on the game while they text.

Sorry, only officials can make such nominations. If someone with standing wishes to do so, feel free.

Friday night, my partner was administering an endline throw-in. Hands the ball to the thrower and backs out to start his count. Thrower releases a bounce pass toward the corner. Quick thinking defender sticks his foot out and kicks the ball. you guessed it! Nails my partner on the bridge of the nose, right between the eyes.

It was all I could do not to die laughing at him.

It's even funnier when he gets one in the nuts.

Had a partner that took a nut shot about 3 years ago.

Most officials prefer that the clock keep running, and running, and running, and running.
