I would LOVE to only have to drive 83 miles one way for my games!

In the 11 dates I've worked already this season (scrimmages, exhibitions and jamborees), I've traveled an average of 131 miles one way! Do the math, and I'm already almost due for an oil change in my car just for basketball...

Wouldn't trade it for the world though!

For college games I agree. However, if this is what I had to do for a majority of my HS games then I would trade it in.

Agreed! In the N VA/DC area, it can take me 45-60 minutes to go 10-15 miles on a Friday night. Long distance games would be out of the question for me under my current "primary job" structure.

I would either have to talk to my Assignor or re-evaluate my desires to work games. Thankfully though, it's only for a few months and only a few nights of those weeks.

81-38 or something like that. Toss was perfect. Running clock with 7 minutes left after being teased for the whole 3rd qtr. Now, I wait until Tuesday for my first BV 3 man game.

Well I hate to say this but I have made the difficult decision to take a minimum of this year off. After feeling completely burnt out from football season this year, my heart just is not in working another sport right now.

I'm sure I will miss it but I am going to take this break to tend to some personal matters and not worry much about officiating for awhile. I'll still be around here though.

Have a great season everyone.

Sorry to hear it, brother. I've done it a couple of times myself.

Not going as far as you but I am cutting out all rec & military intramural ball. I joined a 2nd HS association which will cause me extra time away from home on game nights. With that extra time on the road I don't I need to be leaving the house for Rec games.
