It's Over

Three more state assignments as the post-season state tourney advances, then something new and different for me this year. Taking a mini-vacation with the wife to watch the state semi-finals and finals, which means me watching basketball games and crews for three days and her enjoying room service and relaxing the whole time, spending all the money I earned from game fees.
NASO hotel discounts aren't valid there during tournament weekend, but I'm sure it will be worth the extra bucks.
Then summer camps.
Then do it all over again.
This is my social life.

I've been done for three weeks but I just finished my paperwork for taxes today so I have game counts in front of me.

I only worked 42 games this last season but I didn't get started until December and only had a few assignments until January and even then I took a week off.

This was a good season for me, though it started rough, I felt I finished fairly strong. I never played basketball above 8th grade rec league so it's taken me some time to get a sense for the game and I feel like I'm progressing along well.

Now I'm looking to go to camp this summer and see if I can break into varsity ball this next season.

I guess I'm officially done as well. I was hoping to get another round of playoff action, but Sunday has come and gone without the notification.

This was my first year doing playoffs and I had 1 boys game that was a 2 point game and second round that was a 5 point game. I also had a first round girls game that was a blowout. So I was very happy with my postseason. Can't wait to get into camps this summer.
