Have to admit I noticed the same thing. No one seemed in the least bit awkward or weird about his behavior.
1. It was a stunt.
2. They are used to it.
3. They don't know any better.

#3 seems least likely given the age group of the players.

This looks totally real...and the coaches and players seem very used to it. They must have seen him many times.

I don't think this is a stunt. I did some research based on some of the visible signs in the gym and this game appears to be at Garfield HS in Garfield NJ. The Garfield High School Boilermakers compete in the Bergen-Passaic Scholastic League (BPSL), made up of private and public high schools located in Bergen County and Passaic County NJ, so this guy must be in whatever association works that league.

Based on the appearance of the players and small number of spectators in the stands, this is probably not a varsity contest.

Did a google search for Garfield Boilermakers, the home team. The only hit I got was a HS in NJ. I was not able to read the front of the visitor's jersey. Something ...ncaster. This year's schedule did not have Garfield playing anyone with "...ncaster" in their name. At least it appears He is not from TN.

LOL Mark you beat Me by 3 minutes.

It looks like the other school is "Manchester", which is Manchester Township HS. They are not in the same conference but that doesn't mean they don't play each other. Besides, this game may have been from before this season.

Did you notice he's wearing a college official's shirt. Do you think he officiates college ball? Maybe in the - wait for it - SEC?

Or maybe he started in SoCal and after 3 games got college assignments.
