The guy who wants to give a rules clinic on every call, and engages the coach every time he makes a sound. You can usually spot him in the captain's meeting.

Oh, and the guy who can't stop taking about hot moms in pregame. Mainly because it's just annoying.

I took it as "I'm very surprised that's really number one on your list of what makes a bad partner"

It can be a symptom of "big timing" and I agree that "big timing" can be a problem, but just wearing the jacket isn't very high on my list.

I've never seen an official(s) wear the CCA jacket to a HS game. One has to be really excited about working college games or just plain & simple, trying to big time someone.

There used to be a time when you could accidently "grab the wrong jacket" but since they put the big white stripes on it, that excuse is no longer valid.

A partner wearing the jacket wouldn't rank very high on my list though...

A great example, for many, of big-timing.

I do not think anyone really does this out of big timing. I think this is done more out of total ignorance. I see more younger and newer officials wearing these jackets than I see those that actually work those games on a regular basis.

Actually, we had a terrible drought prior to the earthquake and hurricane.....but, overall, it could be a lot worse. I had some downed tree limbs, but we have power and no flooding here.

Best of luck to everyone.
