Fan,

Now, everybody wears the CCA jacket down here. What group were you in back in 2000?

Then why do it?

There is no reason to wear the CCA jacket to a high school game. None...forgot your HS jacket? Then don't wear a jacket or borrow one from the JV guys.

Can't imagine any college conference supervisor being pleased about one of their officials pulling that kind of crap.

Let's all be honest here. The ONLY reason to wear it is big timing. And you're correct Rocky...any supervisor would probably have a fit if they found one of their assignees wearing one to a HS game.

Honestly, what it tells me is either a) you only want to buy one jacket, in which case you aren't really getting a full college schedule. Or b) you want to show your partners that you work college.

You may as well just tell me you're doing the assigner a favor by working this game with me.

This. ^^^^^

It may be that some HS organizations have chosen to use the CCA jacket as their jacket. If so, then there is nothing to see here.

Why would a HS organization be wearing Collegiate Commissioners jackets? For the same reasons Adam and BZ posted above.

No need for it in hs / college bb...

In one of the men's NCAA bulletins, they asked us to not put our hand striaght up to indicate verticality.....

Just like guys slapping hands to indicate blocked shot.....

Just like guys telling defenders to get up when they flop.....

Only place where they want that done is in the Big South ( ex NBA guy super. )

Heck I heard Forte has guys standing in center circle during warm ups.....

Reminds me of the big timer who is the sole occupant on my scratch list. Tried to get on me about letting everyone know whether the TO was 30 or full. Not my fault he was too busy being impressed with himself to notice me signalling to him that very information. After being chided for making a call in my area as the C, I decided that the 2nd game working with him was no better than the first, and that there would not be a third. He leads the league in blocks I am told.

That's possible, but it would hardly be worth noting in the OP if that were the case.

Regular season, I'd agree. But in the playoffs here, each official wears thier association's jacket, whatever that is. If you didn't know what each association wears, it would be easy to think some guy was wearing his CCA jacket when it was just his HS jacket.

The CCA jackets say CCA on them...it ain't that hard to tell them apart.

:p That's funny. Didn't ya love working with that guy?

There is no justification for wearing a collegiate jacket at a HS game. Not in the playoffs, not in the regular season, not in a scrimmage. None. Zero.
