He said that he indeed did have the required paperwork at the table...and what do you know...he actually did! (Both the medical slip and WOA slip)

I told him this might be something he would want to bring up in our pre-game conference...he stated no official had even asked for the paperwork yet.

Having said all that...do other states require Official's Associations signed paperwork...or is a signed medical slip all that is needed for these shooting sleeves?

Almost sounds like last night's game, since you're now a TV celebrity (KeHS vs. RHS highlights on 11 PM news).

Actually I like the idea that the WIAA/WOA has to approve the shooting sleeve, as you never know without the note/authorization if the player has the need for it or not (blame some NBA players for making shooting sleeves a uniform accessory).
