An old softball coach I know several years back had “COACH” put on the back of his shirts, and of course “ASS COACH” on the back of the assistant coaches’ shirts.

Typically a “crew” is hired. However in the last few years you are starting to see individuals hired thru hiring apps such as Arbiter and Event Link. You see individuals being hired closer to the game date. In one example a couple of weeks back the AD discovers on Wednesday that the crew he had hired for Friday has in fact retired. He uses various means to find a crew for Friday, one is to send a mass invite thru Event Link where individuals can accept the game. Thru various means, he found two officials from a crew who had taken the week off due to their other crew mates having some other obligations, it was Labor Day weekend, and three individuals who were not on crews and could work. I don’t use an assigner, but I would assume assigners are probably having put individuals together to create crews for some games. Assigners have long been used in other sports, not necessarily Football. But as our shortage continues and grows worse, I assume we will see more schools use assigners, mainly because it’s less work for the AD’s to make sure they have officials. Honestly as an official, I’d never take a varsity game with four guys I’d never worked with.

Article mentioned an assigner, do we know for a fact this crew was thru an assigner? I’m not ready to assign blame until we have a lot more info, but with today’s communication technology, this sort of thing should NEVER happen.

Sad..... Similar thing happened to my kid. She did it for cash in college. Upon landing a decent paying gig out of college, she told me "you know what the best part of this is?" "I'll never have to umpire again." One of the toughest female athletes I've ever been around. Was offered a college umpiring gig her second year of umpiring in college. And idiot youth coaches ran her off. And I assure you she's forgot more about the game than they collectively will ever know. What these idiots don't understand, it's the game that suffers. Hopefully she finds her way into coaching, she's had numerous offers, but hasn't found the right situation yet. My point all along has been the game was really good to her, she needs to give back.

“The last thing we want them to do is to sit on an unused building It's being used for the next 15 months and WLS is being compensated 1.5 million. I have no idea if that money can be used for teacher salaries or not. publicly paid classrooms in play for public education, in this case public charter schools created under Indiana law as alternatives to traditional public schools. There is no law that says a school can't rent their class space for $1 a year or whatever. In fact I have seen this happen in my local school district. “It is taking the building that was built in the interest of the community to serve students, and say ‘X’ school district says it doesn’t want to use it anymore, it’s made available to ‘Y’ public school that can use it for the purposes of educating children in that same community.” I'm not sure how much more plainly it can be stated: NO ONE CONTACTED WLS about renting the building. No downtrodden kid is being forced into the government schools of WLS. Killion said the school district doesn’t have specific plans for Happy Hollow once the city moves back to Morton Community Center. Perhaps a charter school will contact them? NO ONE HAS SAID THAT!

Come on Gonzo, everyone's a Pulp Fiction fan.

I said it was a stupid law. And you may have missed the part of the article where WL Schools have sued the state over it. In fact it was the title of the OP that YOU made. This is not a quality of education thread, put the goal line back where it was. Reducing school choice, did you read the article? Mr. Killion and I'm assuming the school board are acting on behalf of the WL school taxpayers. I'm sure the school board is elected, so there is accountability to the locals.

Francis is so far behind, he's grasping at straws to keep his hopes alive and remain relevant. Unfortunately he's hitched his wagon to the wrong pony. He seems to think if he yells louder, says naughty words, he'll get some traction. I think he's greatly overestimated the population's zeal for further limiting their rights. The bottom line, as the article points out, they have no idea where these guns are, who owns them, and will have more difficulty than they know finding police officers who will break their oath to go confiscate these newly illegal guns.

I never said they were all for profit. But we both know there are for profit charters exploiting this stupid law.

I ain't had no college learning or anything, but $1,500,000>$2 Seems like a better use of the facility for the next year and a quarter. While the local taxpayers are on the hook either way, WL Schools come out to the good. And they eliminate the opportunity for a for profit enterprise to shaft the local taxpayers by not paying a fair market lease.

Once again, perhaps in a former life he was "The Wolf".

In lean manufacturing you don't manufacture inventory, you manufacture what you can ship today. It is critical that your manufacturing systems operate at optimum levels. When one of those systems breaks, it's a HUGE problem. It could be anything from a vendor truck with critical raw materials you need breaking down to Todd in shipping showing up high after lunch and any system in between. And if your constraint breaks down, it's costing you HUGE money. Perhaps in a former life, Gonzo was "The Wolf"?

I literally pay like 200 bucks a year for an efax service because I have two customers that don’t have/use email. One told me and I quote, “I just like to have that piece of paper in my hand.” Been a customer for 50 years, what are you going to do?

Alex Rogo saves his marriage.....and the plant.

The Goal is one of my favorite love stories.

Dude I'm telling you, our resident expert on everything says he's your boy for zoning.

Pretty sure we've been down this road.

Love me some Jules!

I suppose that's relative. We recently did an escape room. One of the clues was using the Pathagorean Theorem, we needed the length of a line on the way from the ceiling to the floor on the opposite side of the room. I deduced that the room was 9' tall and we found the length of the wall in another clue. The combination of a lock was C²-10,000. We ended up having to get a clue, because it wouldn't work. We asked what the height of the room was and they said 9'. I explained that we had done it repeatedly using 108² and the combo didn't work. She said in a rather condescending tone, sir, 9'=106". I'm like I'll take you're 106, but I'm the wrong dude to argue measurements with, I'm the guy who eyeballed this thing and correctly identified it was 9' tall. So @Irishman, given the information you just read, what do you reckon the odds of you getting a measurement on Friday night are? :)

Served as HRC's Nevada chairperson Failed miserably as the D candidate for Nevada governor 2010. Served as chairperson of the Clark Count Commissioners and can plan the hell out of a city.

Rory Reid knows how to zone a city. But don't stand between him/his Chinese puppet masters and their profits.
