Since we have now finished off all the turkey and dressing, it is now time to turn our thoughts toward Santa Claus and all of our Christmas wishes... Here are mine for this year:
* That a Big 12 team would win the NCAA team title in either the men's or women's division. While we totally respect the other teams, it would just be nice to have the title in the Big 12 for a change.
* That the USTA would come up with requirements for officials with over 5 years experience that are different than those for a beginner.
* That Nucula would be a thing of the past and never to be mentioned again.
* That the ITA would not raise our dues for at least one more year.
* That Tom Herman would not go to LSU. Makes you wonder what we think about another situation doesn't it?
* That Trump would announce the formation of a Tennis Ambassador and put their headquarters in Dallas, Texas.
* That Oklahoma would finally finish the road work between Denton and Norman.
* That the state of Oklahoma would give $100 in casino credits for all Texas officials who work a match in Oklahoma. Just a thought...
* That the USTA would pay for eye exams since they require them of all officials.
* That the USTA would put some teeth into their penalties for misbehaving parents and players.
* That the USTA would forget the words "diversity" and "politically correct" and get back to basics again
.
* That some of our officials would quit calling three days after an event wanting to know when they are going to get paid. In Heaven, it takes at least a week so get over it.
* That new officials in training would never again say, "I know that." If they knew that, then why aren't they doing it?
* That new officials wouldn't think they "have arrived" after shadowing one dual match. Perfection takes time to achieve.
* That pro officials would be required to take a course called "How To Keep Your Self-Inflated Ego Under Control."
* That some of our officials would quit demanding their "ten minute rest break" every hour.
* Teach some of our officials that their hero should be Jesus and not Attila the Hun.
