What a week for Junior and I it was!
Everybody, I am sure, has already read about how MTD, Jr., and I started last week with a mini-Xavier vs. Cincy game on Monday, but it only got better on Friday night.
Mark had a boys' JV game in a league where the southern most school is quite a bit a ways from home. I decided to go to the game with him and observe him. My "better half" questioned my decision not to take any officiating gear with me in case his partner did not show up as I assured her that he would. ROFLMAO!! Sure enough, his partner did not show up and I officiated, wearing the kahki slacks that I wore to the game and a pair of size 9-1/2 (I wear size 9's) sneakers that belonged to the home school AD. Good thing that Mark had packed a second shirt and naturally had extra whistles in his bag. A fun evening was had by all. MTD, Sr.

Always, unfortunately, there was no free food.
On a serious note, even when I have to show up "dressed," I'm not wearing my stripes. At the very least, my shoes, shirt, and whistle are in my bag and I'm wearing a plain black undershirt.

I worked a sub-varsity game last Saturday and I had *no clue* how to go to the game.
I dressed in nice clothes and took my bag the same as if I was working a varsity game. The only change was that I showed up at about 9:30AM for a 10AM game instead of 9AM as I was warned nobody might be there before then. I changed, put on my jacket, went to the gym, and waited. My partner showed up about 9:50AM, dressed in everything except a striped shirt and officiating shoes. He sat on the bleachers and changed and then came and said hello. We started about 5 minutes later. I'm really not that comfortable coming dressed, I guess -- I'm just not used to it. |

I wear a tie to all of my board's assignments, right down to MS. We were told to dress professionally, so I do. If my board doesn't assign it (rec league, travel, et al), then I dress more casually, but I don't arrive or leave in my stripes.

My normal day job....just about anything...jeans/shorts and a pullover, or even a T sometimes. I do dress "up" when I have a game that night but it is often khaki's or such and a nice golf shirt or button down. Now, if we got paid professional rates, I could see dressing in a suit/tie but for an amount that roughly equates to minimum wage...no.
