My timer compadre is even lower at 28 bucks. The supervisor is even lower at $20, that's below minimum wage when they have to deal with unruly fans. Don't slam teachers, period. If you want to, I will need your name and phone number to substitute for me next Tuesday.

Move here. I've seen the checks at some schools and they were bigger than mine.

And why is it that teachers get first crack at these scorer/timer gigs, anyway? Scorers and timers are supposed to be officials according to the NFHS -- why aren't those positions filled in the same way as officiating slots?
