Seriously?

Are you freaking kidding me Billy?

Actually, Cold, Not Cool ...
 

Hey. Zombies are cool. Look at the ratings for Walking Dead last season. Kids today really dig zombies.

You know what would also be cool? If instead you didn't post stupid images like you try to do in every thread, and actually stick to the subject at hand.

Sticky Subject ...
 

For what it's worth, in my little corner of Connecticut, one hand reporting, vocalizing the numeral(s), i.e. "Four. Two.", not "Forty-two". Some will flip their hand over for the second numeral, most don't.

omg smh!!!!

If I had my way, I'd cut off the hand of anyone doing two handed reporting. Its totally unnecessary (at least for HS and College and less than 5 as a digit -- and since there are plenty of numbers, that is sufficient) and potentially confusing.

Please: why does everything have to move to mimic what professional leagues are doing? Adopting good ideas and ones that benefit the game are fine, but a wholesale changeover for the hell of it (half circle in the lane is one of the better, more stupid idea, examples)?

we as a officials need to COMMUNICATE clearly obviously you have to use judgement say in a jv game. young scorekeeper, you may want to ask him or her what is best for them upper level games IMO two-hand works best be efficient be calm but keep the game moving

Every clinician/supervisor/assigner I've ever met has said say the number, not the digits.

I have to guess, but it seems this is your final sentence, and I would say it's not always true. Do what works in your area, and do what the powers want.

I wont say which district im in but lets just say most of our officials are behind a little bit they believe all change is bad. In my case im not looking to officiate in this area too much longer im looking at bigger and better things (jr college and up) so I dont care what my Dist director says im going to do it most efficiently.;)

Then you don't plan on making much money prior to moving up to JuCo and beyond. ;)

And I would be hesitant to quickly jump on them and assume they don't know what they're doing. Unless you're moving out of the area, I would also assume the high school leadership has at least some significant say (due to overlap and all that) in who gets picked for college ball.

And a JuCo supervisor is likely to reach out to the HS supervisor/commissioner for some feedback on a prospect.
