John Koskinen runs a clinic known as the "Seashore Basketball Officials Clinic." It is far from "all work and no play."

At the clinic, he uses officials from all levels of basketball to teach you the philosophy around the game. You learn but never have to pick up a basketball. What's even better is that your family is on "vacation" with you!

Join me at Wildwood, on the Jersey Shore, as we meet our first speaker Joe Lindsay.

Editor's note: Recall, please, that Dennis is writing about the camp he attended a couple of years ago.

You already know the outcome, of course. Click the title to read Ed's take on the officiating.

Hint: TiVo the game (we're going to), then go through it after you print out Ed's piece. See if he's right in his analysis. If you have an opposite view, let us know.

At any rate, click the title to jump right in.

It's a long piece, so it's the only article posted today. We'll be back at the old stomping ground (two a day) tomorrow.

Ed Hickland again brings us his take on the Super Bowl. Around the office, we were rooting for Arizona — for personal reasons. Our editor was an English instructor at the University of Northern Iowa back in the early 70s. It was a fine game that unfortunately also dimmed the record of the Dallas Cowboys, another team closely connected to our editor.
