I was on SportsCenter!

All I've got to ask is if that was the best camera someone could use to make that video? I think a old 8mm film camera would have been better.

Thanks everyone... I guess its one thing that I can cross off of my officiating bucket list!

Just noticed it was a D3 game.......does trail or center mirror NCAAW?

It was D2... Yes, they are supposed to mirror. He said that he didn't realize it was even a shot until it went through the hoop... By that time the coach was asking for a TO.

You'd be surprised as to how bad some video quality can be... I know someone who was working a NCAAW D1 game last week -- he went to the monitor for a timing error, and when the production crew played back the video on the monitor it was the wrong game! He said they were using a VHS tape to record the game, and they were recording over a previous game... so they had no monitor.

I've never been on Sports Center, but in 1968 I was on film on the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite. Some of you may remember seeing me on your black and white 12" set.

A few weeks ago I was on "Friday Night Frenzy", a local CBS affiliate television station's coverage of the "big" high school games that night. I'm a journeyman official and usually don't get these "big" televised games, but for some reason my assignment commissioner gave me a great schedule this year, lot's of "big" varsity games, and lot's of top notch veteran partners, so this was a first for me. I only worked three junior varsity games this season, two were "big" intracity rivalry games, and the third was a "big" prep school game. Too bad my season is winding down because it was the best season that I've had in quite a few years.

I remember. And it's true, the camera does add ten pounds. I remember asking my parents, "Why does that guy have such a big head?".

Wow. Helluva finish! Great looking game!
Congrats on being "Prime Time"!!

The only part of that I remember is you being driven away in a black and white!
