Excellent. I wonder if he learned any rules in his training....

Of course he did, see the IAABO patch on his shirt.

I'm sure he's being personally mentored by Al Battista, he's has no choice but to learn the rules.

Exactly, and my good friend Al, is an even greater historian of the rules that I am.

He should join us in the Conflict of Interest? thread!

It's a JV game.

Around here one of the teachers from the home school would work the game. Or the AD.

I remember my P.E. teacher officiating many of my home middle school games.

That's interesting.
Here, I can't work JV games for my daughter's high school. She doesn't play basketball, and doesn't have any friends on either the boys or the girls teams. I checked with the assigner before the season started (she's a freshman this year), and he said to go ahead and block the school.

I had an issue with Arbiter, and for the first time in 6 years, I actually got assigned to a game at that school. I reminded him, and he took care of it and gave me a different game.

Honestly, I've often thought it would be a lot of fun to officiate a varsity football or basketball game at my High School alma mater... Of course, I graduated from there over 15 years ago and live in a different state now, so it'll never actually happen (even without any potential 'conflict of interest' considerations), but still.

I hope I look as great as Adrian Dantley when I'm 60. Wow.

I went to 4 different high schools, good thing I don't live in those states.

My dad officiated some of my games when I was a junior in high school in New Jersey.

Couple of years ago I worked a regional play-off game with a mixed crew, and the local official was a graduated of that school.

Keep a bag packed
 

Military brat or just looking for the right "fit"? like Kevin Durant:rolleyes:

Military brat + divorced parents.

My first HS varsity game was at my alma mater, 12 years after I graduated. I was a fill-in, and informed the assigner that I had played for that school 12 years before, it wasn't a big deal to him.
