Anyone can get one of those through Honig's. A college shirt, though. Didn't see any partners, though.

Oh, he's there, but for some reason we just don't notice him.

Lets all be honest. EVERY association has "This Guy" maybe not AS flambouyant, but we all have the older offiical who really puts "extra effort" into his game. I know we have one, and the kids and fans love him. I love working with him b/c when he makes a crazy call all I have to say to a coach is "Hey, that's " and they agree and move on.
Wouldn't want to have younger offiicals imitate the mechanics, but would love for them to have that same level of energy and enthusiasm.

I like at the 1:00 mark how he cuts in front of a Team A player to begin a closely guarded count.

Just tried and got the same message. Whoever posted it must have marked it private after the hits/views started building. Anyone here know how to get around that? Too bad. Guy looks like a real piece of work.
