I am sure in other parts of the country like Texas, the weather is certainly different during the basketball season.

I like the look of the jackets during pregame. When starting out, I couldn't wait to get to the varsity level so I could wear the jacket.
I always keep a needle in the pocket although rarely used. |

Certainly, but it still gets cold here. Not dig your car out of a snowbank to get to work kind of cold, but cold.

Yes, I'm trying to understand this concept of needing jackets in a gym...

And I get cold too. Not all gyms are heated or well heated. Peace

I wish they'd put an elliptical machine or a treadmill at halfcourt, so I could keep the blood flowing. I actually prefer the cold gyms once the game starts -- but until then I freeze. |

I run a lot more in my college games so my body temp is up there; I often put on the jacket in the locker room because I get cold.

The Three Amigos ...
You guys must not leave your jackets in the locker room at halftime?

The Needle And The Damage Done (Neil Young) ...
We're in the process of getting new jackets, local logo instead of the IAABO logo (due to licensing restrictions). We were given about three seasons to change over. I used the new jacket last season. The pockets are so shallow that I lost, and had to buy, and replace, several needles that were lost, until I eventually figured out to duct tape the needle into the pocket. I used the same needle for over twenty-five years with my old jacket with the deep pockets, the needle was so old that it was tarnished and wasn't shiny any more. The new jacket also has a satin finish that makes us look like disco roller skaters. What was the executive committee thinking when they selected this model?

I like the jacket for traditional reasons as well as the ritual that goes with it...
i.e. the whole crew taking off the jackets at the same time after the national anthem...handing the jackets to table personnel for them to carefully place them in a secure location...going to the table at the end of the 2nd Qrt. only to awkwardly get each others jacket, sometimes handing off the correct jackets to each other as we make our way to the halftime locker room, sometimes one official grabs all jackets... speaking of jackets...why do some officials wear their college jackets to a H.S. game? To cheap to buy 2 jackets? Showing off the not so neat college jacket? Also, we aim for going on the court 15 minutes prior to 0:00. Captains at 12:00 and Books at 10:00. Dunks acceptable (or at least we don't care) untill we get on the court...
