In my experience, for triple headers, game workers (clock, scorebook) got paid $50 for the night. If a teacher or school employee works, then that was negotiated by the union and they get paid the hourly rate with a small contribution to the respective retirement fund (SERS or STRS). If you only used the shot clock for JV and Varsity (or even just varsity), you are looking at a negligible amount. 11 home games for boys and girls = 22 total home games at let's just say its a triple header (I know not all schools have freshmen teams) x $50 = $1100 in payments to a shot clock operator... obviously some schools pay different amounts but that is not a large enough figure in my opinion to be the driving reason to not have a shot clock.
Come on guys, we have play clocks in football that run just fine. Every small school I've been to has a few of them, I see no problem with it in basketball. Hell, you could just use the same ReadyRef's the back judge's use in football if need be. On top of that, football is way more convoluted when it comes to the clock. 25 seconds sometimes, 40 other times.
Almost might as well just make it like the NCAA Tournament and eliminate the districts all together. Its 64 teams anyway, Split them into the four regions (Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati) and there is your bracket. I am in Cleveland area so we are lucky that we have so many D1 teams nearby to where this won't hurt as nearly as bad as it will for NW Ohio and other areas that do not have as many D1 schools. It will stink having near empty gyms because a team will be traveling 1.5-2 hours for a first or second round tournament game..
I time track meets and get a paycheck for $100 per meet after the season. The school and I have to pay into retirement system. The ticket takers, announcers and score keepers are all paid the same way. I don't know what those others are getting paid. But I assume if someone is running the clock for Freshman, JV and V games would get similar amount.
‘Those others’ aren’t participating in the retirement system, unless they are otherwise employed by the school.
I wonder how the school knows your social and address to be able to provide you retirement and take out taxes?
Why would they drop out?
Well I think basketball needs a major reboot in general, it's declined significantly in the last 20 years interest wise. Too many AAU type private schools with absolutely no following are ruling the lower divisions, and it's hurting tournament interest quite a bit.
Broke OHSAA rules. Not competitive. Injuries or sickness.
I think that is why I have a problem with this. I don't see it as a solution to any of the problems the OHSAA is currently suffering through.
If they receive a paycheck from the school they are participating in the retirement system. And those others are receiving a paycheck like I am. I am not employed in any other position other than timing meets and I am paying into the retirement system just like the school is paying in on my behalf. I receive like .1 year of severance so will never reach the 10 years need to collect retirement.
No idea where you are going with this but I filled all the preemployment paperwork like you do for every job. You are either being a dumb or a smart neither puts in a good light.
Lol....I'm pretty sure that if they are writing a check that they're probably going to ask for that information don't you think?
Have you never had a job?
This is exactly right. Our game pay is processed through payroll, which means is subjected to taxes and deductions. That includes federal and state tax, city tax, and school district tax. And we have to pay into SERS. AND...we get only $20 per game.
Interesting. Some are paid with a vendor check. Did you know that the money you pay into SERS (assuming you’re not otherwise a school employee) can be refunded to you?
Football is an invitation to the playoff but basketball is not.
So you are a board approved employee. Now it makes sense.
Exactly but he had previously said he was not an approved employee.
I never claimed not to be an approved employee when in fact I was.
From the OHSAA boys basketball webpage:
Just about anything can happen but I have seen it in football more often since the 7 division change. Usually when a 0-10 or 1-9 team gets matched with a 10-0 team. I have not heard of a basketball team who is able to play saying "no thanks".
The parent board can be updated during dead balls, it has no impact on the game. The shot clock for the most part is hitting a reset button at the right time. Very possible to share.
One school moved up. That’s called a
drop
This didn’t age well
