Assignors - god bless em'

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

I have been married for 31-1/2 years and have always kept myself open on Feb. 14th, because if I officiate on that date, when I get home I give my "better half" the best present possible: The game fee check to put in the bank the next day, .

That's embarassing-I know full well what day of the week an assignment is on when I accept it.Those officials should've paid attention to the calendar when they accepted their games.Since they've accepted assignments they should honor the commitment they made to the assignor.

I'm actually quite shocked at how poor of a job a lot of my personal friends do in managing their basketball schedules and keeping Arbiter up-to-date.

It surprises me as well. I deal with games on Arbiter, Reftown and Presto as well as one set of games - BV - where we don't even use an assigning program. Sometimes my assigner send me an e-mail. Other times - like Monday night when I found out I had a game Tuesday afternoon - I log in to my game page on the league web site just to make sure. Never missed a game.

Some guys don't realize how much they can cost themselves by being an administrative headache for their assigners. I tell people constantly: I may not be the best official in the room but I know I'm not a problem child for the people who give me games.

JetMet-
I love that quote.This year in volleyball I was a first year official and made the section semi-finals.Only turned back one match the entire season and kept my arbiter completely current.
