How are pre-season scrimmages handled for your schools?

Schools hire the officials. Paid just like regular games.

One of my associations uses a preseason scrimmage (with 4-6 teams attending) as a clinic. Pretty laid back. We usually have 4 courts going and 25-30 or so officials rotate in and out. A couple clinicians per floor giving feedback.

The money tends to go to food/drink at a local establishment afterwards for those who attend. Not a money maker at all.

Here, the contracts call for the association to provide officials for 2 scrimmages at each school with no compensation. Then you have some schools who will switch up the format once the officials are in place in order to get extra quarters out of the officials.

That's miserable.

I worked a scrimmage like this when I lived in Tennessee. I had a coach act like it was the state playoffs and acted so badly I would've probably whacked and then ejected him. Finally I told him that either he knocks it off or I leave.

He told me to go ahead and try it. I put the ball on the table and went to the house.

My partner stayed and worked solo to try to kiss ass.

I wasn't the one who got reamed out by the supervisor, either, BTW. Good times, good times. About 20 years ago now.

Yeah, we've discussed that in another thread over the last year. I don't have much positive to say about our state governing board.

Ironically, the only positive thing I have to say about the VHSL is their Beginner and State Evaluation camps.
