Its a good way to work games in the area while avoiding a conflict of interest.

I retired from my home town school system about ten years ago. I taught science, and coached soccer, and basketball, at the middle school. My three kids participated in various high school sports, including basketball. They graduated about ten years ago. I've blocked off my hometown high school for the past nine years. I unblocked the high school for this season, after asking, and then getting the blessing, of my assigner. The boys basketball coach, the girls basketball coach, and all their assistants, as well as the athletic director, have all moved on.

Just so all knows, he is one of the top officials I have ever played under and I would NEVER think he would do anything remotely shady. But what I think and what others may think are 2 different things.

There is one conference with 3 (8) team divisions. Plenty of work to go around.

Just was curious to what this group thought. Thanks for the comments!
