We have it made. Our association also supplies the scorers and timers for almost all our high school games in our coverage area and have for as long as I can remember. We have always had them wear stripes and don't have to worry about a thing.

No issues here!
Tonight our Association supplied the timer (striped shirt) and the home team supplied the score keeper (striped shirt).

Next to the score keeper on the back of a chair were three other striped shirts in M, L, and XL......just in case I guess.

I really don't care one way or the other, personally, and making a big deal about it isn't how I want to be remembered at the school.
I know I am not hanging around to get my shirt if the home team loses a nailbiter and the crowd is hostile. That is just one bad idea.

Then you certainly wouldn't like officiating in Massachusetts.

(Are they still observing the post game handshakes?)

I haven't had a problem here in Indiana yet, but I understand that by typing that I have just jinxed myself and every game here on out will feature scorers without them.

Can you occasionally try to post something that's on topic? Is that so hard for you? Really?

Topic (Actually a subtopic): Hanging around on the court after an intense game. 26 Year Gap brought up the topic, not me. Like 26 Year Gap, I am also not a big fan of hanging around on the court (assuming the score is correct) after an intense, or even a ho-hum, game. Our colleagues in Massachusetts have no choice but to do it after every game. I'm sure that the Massachusetts guys have adjusted, but I hope that this protocol doesn't spread south to Connecticut. After approving the score, I'm leaving the court, not picking up my jacket, not filling out pay vouchers, or tax forms, not "shooting the breeze" with the athletic director, etc., and I'm certainly not waiting for my striped shirt.

Doesn't Ontario use FIBA rules?
Does FIBA also require a striped shirt for the official scorer?

No. High schools in Ontario use NFHS. Everything else ( club/rep teams, college, and university ) play FIBA rules.

FIBA does not require a striped shirt.

Thanks for the clarification. I had thought I heard something some time ago that there was a push to play all Canadian basketball under FIBA rules. Apparently, that was either incorrect or didn't happen.

There was a push towards it. Unfortunately Ontario high schools balked at it. Too cheap to spring for shot clocks. Hopefully soon. I get sick of having to know 2 sets of rules and 3 sets of mechanics ( IAABO, FIBA 2 and 3 official)

At least we are down to two sets of rules now. Community Colleges used to play NCAA rules.

If you call a cab after the game, you have to hang around and wait for it to pick you up, but that wouldn't be on topic, either.
