I don't plan to push much (rather just report to the assigner and see where the chips fall), but I was wondering what others would do. Thanks |
Due to the nature of my commute, I often drive upwards of 70 miles to a game; sometimes through the rush hour of two separate metropolitan areas combined with what has to be one of the busiest rural interstate stretches in the country.
The worst I have ever done is show with just enough time to change clothes and hit the court; and that was due to a car accident blocking traffic near the Air Force Academy. Had it not been for the frosh game taking a bit long, I would have truly been late (I walked into the building at 5:30 for a scheduled 5:30 game). The worst part was, as I walked into the locker room, the local board president was in the middle of getting dressed to fill in for me (he was there for the varsity game after my game). It was not my shining moment. |
Yeah 25 is no joke, particularly South. I leave 2 hours early when I have to go that route.
BL is generally a page turner... did he give you a pass? |

My partner & I changed from greys to stripes as the official from the prior game only had stripes. Our 3rd strolls in & the evaluator says, "you're off this game!" 3rd says, "you're not the assignor, I'm working!" So we changed back to greys. I dont expect he will go too far in the tourney... |

Easy way to fix this. State association requires a game can't start with 1 official (like my state did). |
I cannot read the whole thing
Don't be a "Yabut". I have filled in for guys because I got there early. Don't expect anything for doing that. I care more about helping the association saving face. I have also stayed as a JV official and filled in when a varsity official got ill and couldn't fill in for the second half. The AD asked about the checks and I said I would do it for the experience. You were late and the AD probably would have preferred to have his gym teacher fill in for BOTH games and pay you NOTHING. You have been told this numerous times. You are NOT sparking conversation, you are not accepting what has been told to you. You were LUCKY to get paid ANYTHING for the first game.
The other guy I would be apologizing profusely to right about now is your assignor. I imagine he is not too thrilled about these developments. |
Our Association has a policy regarding no-shows and late-shows...not only are you not paid, you are fined whatever the amount is that you would have been paid.
So not showing up for an assigned frosh game, you lose the $29 game fee, and you are fined an additional $29 by the Board (emergencies, accidents, etc are not fined). You show up at halftime of that frosh game, you are docked the$14.50 and fined an additional $14.50. The $14.50 you are docked goes to your partner who worked the first half alone. |
