My least favorite was the wrestling coach's office, while the wrestlers were weighing in.

A Helpful Tactile Feature
Favorites are the two recently remodeled local schools, each of which now have lavish, spacious, dedicated officials' locker rooms complete with a hallway signs saying "Officials" both in English...and in Braille. Helps to know I'm headed into the right room.

We have a deaf official on our local board, but we don't have any blind officials. You guys really take, "Hire The Disabled", seriously, don't you.

Or "That guy" who after giving a technical to the H coach during the game, goes to find him after we dress after the game to smooth things over with him. I just went down the hall and stood by the door to leave and waited for him.

This is the same guy who told me that when Team A has the ball in their backcourt, throws the ball toward the frontcourt, one of A's players jumps from the frontcourt and catches the ball in the air then lands in the backcourt.....is NOT a backcourt violation. This was apparently because "All three points" haven't been in the frontcourt, and because the ball didn't cross the plane of the division line. I can't make this stuff up.

Unfortunately, someone has, at some point, made this stuff up; and too many people buy into it.

I guess because they can't be bothered to read the rule book or take the Part II test without being fed the answers every year.
