Didn't referee him, but I went to HS with Zac Randolph, now of Memphis. Lots of fun to watch him in HS.

Kelly Olynyk of the Celtics. I worked a couple of games when he was with BC at a national tournament in Canada.

His mother Arlene was a top notch college official in Ontario at one point. She was once my supervisor at another national tournament.

Didn't work his game, but worked at a tournament where Anthony Bennett was playing as a 16 year old.

Ironically enough most people seem to consider him to have a university ready body but be overrated as a player in general.

Also worked as a table official in a tournament where Rob Sacre played. Watched him take over a game when his teammates were playing awful and decide he wasn't going to lose. Scored of assisted on every hoop in the 4th quarter had a double double (almost had a triple double that quarter).

Basketball: Dorial Green-Beckham. Just an unreal physical specimen. Hopefully he keeps his nose clean after getting drafted, because he has talent that the rest of us can only dream of. He could have been a D1 basketball player too.

God Shamgod when he was playing in the CBA in La Crosse, Wisconsin. They trained in my town when Dennis Johnson was the coach and we would work the intersquad games for them.
