I understand that this is amusing to most of us but on a professional level he is an absolute disgrace!

If that is an IAABO patch on his jersey, it must stand for "I Am A Bozo Official".

It is amusing because it is way over the top. I would be embarrassed if I was on the court or if this guy was in my associations.

Peace

For all we know, everyone involved (partner, coaches, players, etc) could have been in on it and the video was just made as a stunt. Not once did it appear that any of them reacted to his unusual antics. Either that, or they were so accustomed to this guy that it didn't amuse them any more.

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.
