Occasionally, I see posts from some of you guys regarding historical information for referees and officials I know that this is probably impossible to find, but if anyone knows information, I'm sure the cast and crew here have a shot at knowing where to go.
Long story short, a friend of mine approached me about potentially doing a book. He was a big 10 referee for 30 years from the mid 70s to the mid 2000s. I reached out to the big 10 office and the NCAA office, and neither have historical information on officials. What I am looking for is a spreadsheet or log of the games that he did over his career. I'm thinking that might jog his memory on specific conversations or incidents during games that might translate well to stories in a book. He is 20ish years older than me ? in his 70s ? and I am thinking of ways to help jog his memory. Still sharp as a tack ? but that's a long career to remember.
I know what I am looking for is probably impossible to find, but thought I would give it a whirl here amongst the MJ gang.
Plus ? I need something to further occupy my time as my Cavs are getting torched every night. :facepalm::facepalm:
Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom!
