Should I be upset?

[Adam]

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?

Not much was said, really. Ever.

There are some in my area that would want to pull your games for being this late. Or say that if the another officials is dressed to work, then they will finish the game.

Peace

Worked with a guy this season that showed up 20 minutes before tip-off. State evaluator just happened to be observing & sat in on our pregame

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...
