The coaching staff received a verbal commitment today from DC United center back Alonzo Clarke. This should prove to be a huge signing for Akron.

I have to ref little kids ball once in a while. By little kids I mean basically non-competitive 3rd-6th grade. I HATE it. I understand what is meant by the referee "anticipating" the call. Sometimes it's next to impossible to see what just happened with the naked eye. Add to that the fact that half the crowd is upset with you, along with one of the two coaches being pissed at you, no matter which call you make & talk about an unenjoyable experience. Good grief. I have no idea why anyone would want to be a basketball referee.

Anyone still convinced that C-USA isn't a step up after watching then completely destroy the 2 MAC teams they have been matched up with? The two games have been men vs boys.....if we get a chance to make the move and don't then we are either stupid or content being a JV team in the worst conference in America.

My perspective changed dramatically when I had the opportunity to ref some HS rec league games. Try walking a mile in those sneakers; then come back and make your comments.
