We will follow our normal procedure: Junior will toss to start each game (because it is too much work to toss the ball) and then I will remain at the division line while the young whippersnapper runs from endline-to-endline the entire game.

You laugh at this but it is exactly what was done to me for my first game initiation 29 years ago! I counted no less than 6 senior officials watching to see how long I would last. It was High School JV game. I was 17 at the time.

Hey Mark T. DeNucci, Sr: You still have to get up the ladder. You know, they don't come with elevators.

Sorry stir22. I've already got all of Javie's NBA assignments and I'm going to wear my OHSAA jacket to all of them! Meetings start next month. Girls varsity starts last week of November, boys varsity the first week of December.

Going to be interesting for me this HS season, as I switched Associations and have to be re-evaluated to see what kind of schedule I get.
PM me about your situation that we have talked about. Good luck with your change!!

Billy:

Funny you should mention elevators. My first job out of engineering school was designing hydraulic elevators for the Schindler-Haughton Elevator Corp. in Toledo, Ohio. That is how I met my better half, she was the secretary for the company's credit manager. SHEC was the American subsidary for the largest manufacturer of elevator in the world.

Be that as it may, I would have Junior carry me up and down the ladder, .

Here in Connecticut, we wouldn't be caught dead riding in any elevator other than an Otis Elevator. If it's not an Otis Elevator, then we'll take the stairs.



Otis Elevator Research Center, right across the street from the ESPN campus, in beautiful, scenic, Bristol, Connecticut. Like Sarah Palin says, "I can see it from my house".

I've been to Bristol...your statement is an oxymoron.

Middle school starts tonight...boy/girls double-header. I always cringe when the girls team comes out wearing knee-pads...I know I'm in for a full game of jump balls and fouls.

Despite that, he likes me working his league.

For us, the first game right now is scheduled for December 3.
