Spotlight on Officials: Hosting Officials In any given night officials will make an immeasurable amount of decisions on a given night. Certainly, they will want to try and remember pivotal moments to learn from, but how they were hosted at the event will always be something they can recall. Why? Because it is the first and last thing they experience the night of a game. A friendly welcome, maybe a hotdog, and a heartfelt thanks are things that officials will take home with them and tell other officials about. Officials wanting to work your contests is an admiral goal to attain for any school. There are two aspects to keep in mind for both the official and the school administration. Odds are, this is not the first task of the day for the official. They’ve likely been at work where they left early and drove straight to the venue to work the game. For the school administration, odds are it is not their first task of the day either. They likely have been through a whole school day full of challenges before setting up the venue for the event. Both parties are best served to work together and understand that each will need to be flexible and understanding to produce the best outcome for the student-athletes. PRIOR TO EACH CONTEST • Let the officials know who their partner(s) will be. • Give the officials a number they can call in case of an emergency. • Provide the officials with information about parking location. • Arrange for someone to meet the officials upon arrival and escort them to their dressing room. • Provide a secured place for officials to dress. • Arrange for transportation to the field (if not dressing at the facility). • Go the extra mile to make sure the officials feel welcome and that they will be playing a vital role in the management of the contest. DURING EACH CONTEST • Provide escorts to take officials on and off the field/court. • Identify the person(s) who will assist them with sportsmanship challenges during or following the contest. • Inform the officials of any special activities prior to the game or at halftime. • Introduce the officials to game workers pertinent to the contest (scorer, announcer, chain gang, ball boys, etc.). • Get the proper pronunciation of the officials’ names – DO NOT ANNOUNCE THE OFFICIALS’ HOMETOWNS. • Confirm the clock time with the officials. • Provide for refreshments during halftime and/or postgame. • Ask about any additional needs. • Inform the officials of the location of emergency medical staff (athletic trainer or EMT/EMS). • Make sure all the bench personnel are properly attired. AFTER EACH CONTEST • Have escorts walk the officials to their dressing room after the contest and to their vehicles. • Do not allow unauthorized persons into the officials’ dressing room after the contest. • Check in with the officials – any unusual situations you need to be aware of, any concerns, etc. • Clarify any questions or issues concerning the payment of game fees. Checks should be issued prior to the contest. If policy prevents issuance prior to the contest, make officials aware of when they will receive their payment. • Be sure to thank the officials for their time and efforts on behalf of both schools and the teams, regardless of the outcome of the game.

20 KSHSAA Activities Journal Playing Favorites a guest essay

Reprinted with permission of the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association and the NIAAA Publications Committee

A wise old coach once agreed to a meeting with a concerned parent. The parent was not happy about the playing time being given to his or her young student-athlete. Part of the discussion moved to a point where the parent indicated that it was possible that the coach was playing favorites. Sensing a possible teachable moment, the wise old coach told the parent that he did indeed play favorites. The parent was shocked at this bold admission and wanted to press the point. But before the parent could steer the discussion in a dangerous direction, the wise old coach asked to be able to explain how he picked his “favorite” players. He explained that once the parent could see how favorites were selected, the meaning of his words would be much clearer and make more sense. The coach proceeded to include a very lengthy list of the characteristics of his “favorite” players. He told the parent that his favorites were players that always arrived at practice early and were some of the last to leave. They worked the hardest and complained the least. His favorites worked as hard off the court as on, and even if they were not the best in the classroom, they gave maximum effort. They did all that was asked of them in class and never became problems for the teachers or school administrators. The same behavior was exhibited in the practice arena during the offseason and during the regular season. As hard as they worked, the favorites also encouraged others to do so by example. He continued by saying his favorites did not always possess the most athletic ability, but they worked to maximize what talent they had been given. They worked year round to improve their skill level and awareness of the game. They also worked to make their teammates better in the process. These favorites were game intelligent and never made the crucial mental errors that cost their team. They always stayed under control and never let their emotions get the better of them. Never did they lose their composure in a game or practice and show up their coaches, teammates or officials. Often they were a calming influence on teammates and fans that were about to go over the edge. They never did anything that would embarrass the school, team or community. They were the kind of people that would make any parent proud. The wise old coach concluded by saying that the name on the back of the jersey had nothing to do with his determination of any favorite player. The status of the parents in the community, the job held by either parent, the athletic background of any family members or the amount of time and/or money donated to the program were never part of the equation. Rather, the ability to put the goals and expectations of the school and team ahead of all personal glory were a major determining factor when deciding favorites. Community opinion and social media buzz are also never a factor. So the next time a student-athlete, patron, parent or casual fan wants to talk to you about coaches choosing and playing favorites on their teams, remind them of the words of the wise old coach. The favorites that play on interscholastic athletic teams do so for a reason. Playing time is always earned and never given. The favorites that show up on game nights have been workers, leaders and team players long before the lights come on, the fans enter the venue and the games begin.
