Not extensively, but when we conferenced briefly during the game he said he had a clear view. After the game, he simply said everyone in the gym is looking at the three players involved, so he felt he should help out on the only active players out on the court.

Wow, really? This is a varsity official with this mindset?

I don't doubt that one bit. His jacket has the pins to prove it.

I was thinking about slapping a pin on this season, but for some reason many people dont appreciate that.
What else should we do with the pins? Well, except for that Toren!!

Curious as to what other officials in various States do with their pin(s)??

Don't get me wrong. I actually really liked the look and I think when you earn a pin, you can do whatever you want with it. If/When I ever get to that level, you can bet your last dollar I'm buying me a nice thick jacket, instead of that crappy zipper jacket I have now and I'm putting them on that jacket.

I guess some people take it like Bill Gates flashing a bankroll in the hood.

I always thought the zip-ups were a step up from the buttons

Pins? What are pins?

I've got a medallion each time I've been, much like an Olympic medal. I can't remember a pin, maybe there was one on the packet of stuff they gave us.

Whatever there was, it's all in a closet to show my grandkids someday.

In addition to a nice plaque we get a State pin (like the ones that go on a suit jacket).
Some people wear them on the collar of their warmup jackets.

Of course you put yours away, I cant see anybody rocking an Olympic medal on the court during warmups.
