Never Forget the Fundamentals

[JasonTX]

I can't say that things are perfect here in Texas because there have been games that didn't have officials. Our assignment secretary for our chapter handles all communications with the schools. Each week for the games that we have contracted, he will send out a listing of the crew assigned to that game to both teams coaches. The coaches should know that if they haven't received that listing then they should be calling. Last year there was a pretty big game in which the coach didn't know what chapter wanted to use. As the week progressed he totally forgot to contact a chapter to arrange for officials They ended up putting some college coaches on the field to officiate and a member of our chapter was there to watch his son play and he assisted them with making sure they marked off penalties correctly without providing any judgment to them.
