That's exactly the situation when it should be used. And why it was left in the mechanics and in the book.

Is it like the one Maxwell Smart's buddy had?

It was a girls game, so all in all they called a decent first half.
Watch it 'Rook'! There are many officials over the age of 60 that are outstanding. Granted the collar and belted pants must go! Do not be fooled by someone's age it is only a number.

True that! Age is just a number but the description of the uniform tells a bigger tale

as a third year guy, i treasure the older guys in our pool. we've got one guy who is 72, looks 62 and runs like he's 52. by the luck of the draw we had a lot of games together last year, and he taught me many things.

i did a jr. hi tourney two weekends ago, and this one guy came out of retirement to help...he was probably 80 or so. he's forgotten more about officiating than i will ever know.

I resemble that remark, . If you want to wear beltless pants, try the Ultimate Belt under your pants.

I didn't mean anything by his age. Just that he is older. I'm sure there are plenty of good officials that are older. I am not a rookie though, been doing it for 10 years now. I guess I can't say too much about the belt, because until last year, I wore a belt also. Then again, I'm not doing varisty games. This guy was.

A lot of us are older, which is a relative term. I've been doing varsity for ten years, wearing a belt for all of them. Consult your local listings.

Bottom line: Generally speaking, generalizations are dangerous.

Oh yeah, he wears belted, cuffed pants, too. The good news is he does a pretty good job of officiating.
Was this individual standing across the bathroom sink from you????

Hey Mark Padgett. I have a slide rule, I know how to use it, and I'm not afraid to use it.

If slide rules are outlawed, then only outlaws will have slide rules.
