I would hope he proved that a long time ago to get to where he is.

As for the facial hair, I always officiate clean shaven, but that's because I don't grow a good beard. I worked with a guy this past season who always has a beard, and he keeps it very neat. I know for a fact that he's well established in the community, so it may not matter for him. As others have alluded to, his officiating speaks for itself.

A guy around here has the affectionate nickname of "Mr T", both for his bearded appearance... and his whack-a-thons

Actually, around here, it would help if it's kept well trimmed rather than just looking like you forgot to shave.

if you go no lanyard...you better have a spare in your pocket!

CCAA Men's Basketball Officiating Manual (Mens)

Page 35, Section 4 Article 4.

Equipment And Uniform:

A. Never go into a game without a spare whistle in your pocket. Leave your rulebook in the dressing room. A black whsitle shall be worn on a black lanyard.


I hope this ends the discussion.

Thanks for your response Jeff, that makes sense.

Probably wouldn't have hurt as much if Nick caught the whistle.

Wow I think it is pretty good for him to remember that he has a whistle in his pocket and can think that fast for him to grab it out and use it since he lost his other one.

Insert obligatory Mae West quote here. With bob jenkins out on sabbatical, it's no longer a challenge to post an image, or video, and to try to get it past him. Just use your imagination.

I hate that look. But it's very popular among young men today.
