That's what a discussion board is about -- commenting on posts. Personal comments -- not so much (but it happens).

Unless someone is working the NBA or D-League (or whatever), I agree there's no reason to not use a lanyard. That's not the same as saying that not wearing one is, in and of itself, "wrong."

Out of line, impo.

Bob, what type of ball does "whatever" consist of?

Where the supervisor (or whoever ) says "work without a lanyard."

Which is the day that I retire from officiating. Once, for fun, I tried to work without a lanyard in a recreation level game. I probably spit my whistle out five times in the first period. I got tired of picking it off the floor. During the intermission between the first and second period, I got my lanyard out of my equipment bag. That was the first, and last, time, that I ever did that.

P.S. I recently purchased a pink lanyard to use with my pink whistle when we do the IAABO "Officials Versus Cancer" campaign, to be held this season January 23 – 29, 2012. Here, in my little corner of Connecticut, we are encouraged to donate 25% of a game fee to the American Cancer Society.

Pro-Am or the SEC several years ago.
