And when I read this site, my area works so different then other areas. We do not have 100 guys assigned to all the games by one assignor. We have probably a couple thousand spread out amongst many associations and more than 15 assignors or so and I do not see this as a common issue that I can see. I am sure someone does this, but not for very long. Peace |
We've got long time vets who do this, but for the most part, it's the new guys. Some of them are stubborn about it, though.

Of course you are going to have "that guy" do that...maybe once or twice a season. It's usually a newer official...or one that just can't stand to leave a good game behind. They hear about it, with some good natured ribbing, sometimes even before we get to the locker room. |
That's The Key Ingredient, Education ...

Keep Eyes on the Players
Quote:
DON'T GIVE IN TO "L.G.B.T." . . . that is, When the ball goes out-of-bounds, resist the inclination to: LOOK AT THE BALL GO AFTER THE BALL BECKON FOR THE BALL TURN TOWARD THE BALL. Go to the spot of the subsequent throw-in or free throw, keep all eyes on the players, and the ball will come to you. And it always does. |

The group I work with tend toward the other extreme...they won't usually bend over to pick it up unless it hits them in the feet (even though quite a few would benefit from the additional effort). |

I also know that it's done often enough (not in my games) that some ADs are almost expecting us to give it to them after the game is over as they walk us to the locker room. |

Who's Got The Key To The Locker Room ???

I've had a couple of ADs (or game manager) actually start talking to me about getting them the ball after the game. My response is always, "If I can grab it in stride, I'll do it." Then, after the game, "Sorry." |
