Eugene, OR.

15+ years doing Kidsports, Willamalane, and YMCA rec leagues. Done everything from 2nd grade youth games to Adult Mens rec.

(I know 15+ years and still doing rec??? must be lousy official hahaha)
Actually have been approached by the Association many times over the years, only problem was I worked swing-shift for a long time, and/or attended classes in the evenings. Not paying dues, to get harassed for not making meetings, only to have to pass on games because of my work schedule.

However that has changed and I intend to join Association before next season starts.

I don't think I've ever worked with anyone from Eugene, although I've worked quite a few games with officials from Salem. In fact, one of my sons-in-law was in the Salem assn. for a few years. No one ever gave him any lip, mostly because he's 6'8".

Interesting. Very interesting.

Don't get too hung up on "unsporting". It's a red herring in this instance imo.

Afaik, the intent and purpose of the new addition..10-4-1(i).... was to re-enforce the rules concept that the head coach is always responsible for his bench and that every team member is bench personnel pre and post game and during intermissions. That's why every technical foul committed by bench personnel is accompanied by an indirect "T" charged to the head coach. Technical fouls committed by players during a period though get charged solely to the player. Ergo, we now have rules coverage for both illegal dunking by a player and illegal dunking by bench personnel.

It makes sense to me. Kinda....

It was to answer an earlier post regarding special league rules for additional penalties for "unsporting" technical fouls. The NFHS is open ended on what an unsporting technical foul is, but does list many other types of technical fouls that are not unsporting, such as a player dunking a dead ball.
