Is wondering if that would come up. I just started carrying a .357. I still haven't figured out how to carry comfortably on the court though, and I'm very hesitant to leave it in my bag. Usually I just leave it locked in the car, but that does me no good.

Edit: I just realized that most schools are "gun free zones" and if you're even caught with a weapon on school grounds, you could face some sort of charges.

From the story...

Sanders said the attacker waited until his vision was obstructed as he was changing clothes, and until another referee left his side.
Changing on the floor? Don't they provide a room for that?

You would be surprised. There are many places you have to insist on a changing or private room as they do not seem to understand the inherent problem with not doing so. And you deal with officials (if you read previous threads) that seem to not insist on having a room for anything.

That's pretty much how it is around here for middle school games. 99% (SWAG) of officials show up dressed though some do change at the school. They are not usually expecting to have to put us somewhere to change. It's hard enough to get water from some schools.

Houston must be a lot different than Dallas. I have never been to any school in Texas that didn't put me in a coach's office to change in. Even the worst run down Dallas school has a coach's office.

I'm not saying they wouldn't, only that they usually don't because they aren't asked to.

Well that's on the official then - changing on the court is pretty stupid if there's a room to change in. Plus it's just not something anyone wants to see. In a close heated game, get off the court as soon as it's over.

At a middle school? From my experiences more often "no" than "yes".

Remember the big discussion we had about officials changing in parking lots or coming dressed to games?

Of course, and I was afraid significant "no"s were the case. I'm pretty sure our association insists on at least that.

In my experience, very rarely is a room provided that is suitable for changing for JH games.

They do not have a class room somewhere?

I had to give a girls middle school coach his second T after the game ended as we tried to change shoes. "What good is that gonna do?"he wanted to know.
Maybe it will get you a walk down to the principals office tomorrow when he finds out. Now I leave my stuff close to the exit to avoid confrontations like that, sometimes change shoes in the car.

It beats getting bust in the head while changing on the court, no?
