There is no reason to be over at a team's bench to give them information they didn't ask for.

Coaches where I work don't want officials up in their faces for no reason.

Fair enough.. I just talked to 10 coaches and everyone of them like it. They all said it is always good to communicate, especially in late game situations.

Communication has absolutely nothing to do with telling coaches how many time-outs they have.

I have no idea what level you officiate most of your games, but I know, for me, the higher the level, the less coaches want officials bothering them.

Must be a regional thing.

High School...3 man and 2 man. 13 years. They all said they like knowing at the end of the game. We don't have assignors.

So you contract directly with the schools? That might explain why you do it that way there.

tomegun and I might not be the most popular officials in that type of system.

Yes. The schools/coaches schedule with the officials directly. Like I said in another thread, I already have my schedule for the 2013-14 season. In the Metro areas they do have assignors, but only in the OKC and Tulsa area.

If I would have took up officiating 14 years earlier than I did then my career would have started out in Altus. I would probably not have lasted too long in that type of system.

I was at Altus Tuesday night. Small world.
