...yeah, what Snaq's said...only a lot more articulate and with bigger words!

Hey Snaq's...have you ever heard an official comment on what is the WORST 15 minutes of basketball?

You can probably guess...but, I agreed.

LOL, I'm guessing the last 15:00 before tipoff.

The last 30 seconds of a 7th Grade C game?

We have to do 20 minutes here in WI. Last night, the tallest player (girl's game) on the floor was 5'10".

I walked up to my partner and said, "You know, for every 3 games we work, that's 1 hour of our lives we'll never get back."

Fortunately for us both teams went in, so we did too for a few minutes until the teams came back out. Gave us a chance to discard the jackets and for me to get a bit more stretching in away from the eyes of the parents and fans.

My partner and I talk about that all the time how much is wasted watching...nothing. When we first started doing JV the 5 minutes between the end of our game and the start of the varsity was valuable. We got to pick the varsity guy's brains on things that happened during our game etc. We also got to know them a little bit personally as well which goes along way.

LOL...that's good...mind if I borrow that?

On a side note: My partners and I were ready to go into the gym last night for a BV game... I had read, on this forum, where some officials tweet their whistles before entering the gym. I told my two partners about it...one said yeah go for it...the other said no, (with a red face). Well, I did it...Man, the whole gym got quiet and watched us as we walked in. It was kinda weird...I don't know if I'll do it again.

Sounds like you were a military volunteer whereby everyone else took a step backwards.
