The IrREFutable Magazine Issue 8: 2022

AN OFFICIALS PERSPECTIVE Issue 8

There

isn’t one road down this referee journey. The only way to embark on this crusade is to embrace the landmines and potholes. You are guaranteed to encounter countless hiccups that will force you into hands over face shoulder bopping cry.

The IrREFutable Magazine was designed with those stories in mind.

We wanted raw referee stories, human stories beyond the playing field. Our goal is to highlight officials aligned with our core values: empathy, compassion, an entrepreneurial spirit, and the freedom to create something that can impact other people’s lives. Each of these stories speaks to our faith in the future, and I’m excited to share them with you. Please keep your eyes on The IrREFutable Magazine in the coming year for other signs of resilience and renewal because whatever changes 2022 may hold, one thing remains constant, our dedication to this field we share.

Sleepy “You either walk inside your story and own it, or you stand outside and hustle for your worthiness.”

365 DAYS DOWN, AND I’M STILL CRAZY FOR YOU The

first day I walked onto the floor to referee, I was clueless. Nothing could prepare me for what it would take to do this job. The irate coaches, players, and foul-mouthed fans were career-long migraine that only intensified as the games became more competitive. The irREFutable Magazine brought back memories to my early officiating days. The migraines, the screams, and the irate gestures come in the way of deadlines, referee responsibilities, and family distractions. Oh yeah, and there’s Covid-19. This was a challenging year, and we made it through the opening act. Thanks to you, this is happening. Our readership isn’t where we want it, but we are hopeful in the coming season.

I have to thank my wife and family for this project. My wife would encourage me as I edited and drew illustrations and tackled the layout in the wee hours of the night after working a basketball game. My editor, Asha, jumped on the responsibility of writing and editing the magazine. She’s the creative muse of the magazine. She’s pitched ideas and stretched concepts daily. They are both responsible for the genius of this project.

We want to give you the best.

Do we have some new ideas coming your way? Are we teetering with the idea of a printed format? If you are interested, let us know. Subscribers will get the first crack at the printed products. We also may have to cut back on some things to maintain a consistent product. Not to worry, we will do our best to make the transition fluid. Let us hear your thoughts.

On that note, what can I say? Year two is on the way.

Navigating A Run

By Kevin Sparrock

I run, and I own one pair of running shorts. They are soft cotton lightweight gray-lined, with wicking qualities. Unfortunately, I rarely wear them when I run. I prefer to run in baggy-fitting, thigh-covered, double-lined nylon basketball shorts. Two miles into a run, my sweat adds 3lbs of additional weight. My workouts have always incorporated a run.

I have been running since I joined the United States Marines. I don’t love running, but it’s the one workout that puts me in the best shape for an upcoming basketball season.

Ahmaud Arbery’s died running. He was hunted down and murdered by three white men on February 23, 2020. Ahmaud’s family painted a vivid picture of a young man who loved the sport of running more than I could ever muster the strength to achieve.

There was a presumption stemming from social media chains that Ahmaud wasn’t running because he wore khaki shorts and a white t-shirt. Who wears Khaki shorts when they run? He must have been doing something wrong? Then I am guilty. I wore what I had when I was young. I still do. If it was cold outside, I wore pants. Sometimes khakis. Some days basketball shorts. Vanity was not my issue. As I got older, comparing myself to an image of a fictitious runner brought me to purchase running shorts that I rarely use.

Black people have always had to navigate differently. When I was 23 years old, my usual walking route to the train station back into Brooklyn, NY, from my Marine Corp military reserve base was through a predominantly affluent white neighborhood in Garden City, Long Island. It was dusk on a warm day on this particular day, and I wore cargo pants and a t-shirt. I traveled with my army green military duffel bag slung over my shoulder containing my Marine uniform. A plain-clothed police officer in an unmarked vehicle jumped the curb and approached me with a barrage of questions.

He exited the car with his gun in hand by his side. He asked me where I was going as we stood approximately 100 yards from the Garden City Long Island train station. My youthful arrogance and sarcasm kicked in when he asked, “Where I was coming from?” I pointed to my oversized olive green military duffel bag. “The Marine base,” I further questioned his intelligence.

“Green army bag, less than a mile from a Marine base.

It can’t be that hard to put two in two together. Why are you stopping me?”

Why are you stopping me?

The officer responded, “Someone said you were walking through their yard.”

Garden City had sidewalks and lit streets that I made a point to stay on. I quickly realized that I wasn’t pulled over for walking through someone’s yard. I was pulled over for walking. Several questions later and a presentation of my military ID, I was allowed to leave. I never asked for a badge or ID from the officer. I had seen this rode before in Brooklyn, NY. Our friends were being pulled over by cops a block away from the brownstones our family’s owned. An argument and demanding his badge number wouldn’t end pleasantly.

Even if I wore my Marine dress blue uniform, I would have been stopped. There’s a lot I forgot about that day. I don’t remember what I did at the base or my day at home later that evening. I remember the white officer wearing this tucked collared shirt. I believe his hair was a light brown color. But I remember the black steel from his gun.

I wasn’t familiar with firearms at the time, but it reminded me of the .45 we used in boot camp at Paris Island, South Carolina. Reflecting at that moment in time, who’s to say, he wasn’t who he says he was. Did he receive a call that someone was walking through their yard? Was he one of these gun-wielding concerned citizens?

These experiences reshaped how I navigate in this world. I stopped running before the sun up. I maintain the same path every time. When I see women walking their dogs, I make my presence known, so I don’t startle them or cross the street. I’m used to the occasional police car circling back around when they see me. I keep my music low in my headphones to hear them coming up on me. My black wife worries about me when I run. I try to wear dry-fit shirts because it looks like a runner’s outfit. I wear short runners socks with a name-brand running shoe—most time, Nikes. I still run with my baggy, thigh-covered, double-lined nylon basketball shorts. No matter how heavy and wet they get, I just got used to them. A friend questions whether I navigate in the space of paranoia. They ask, “Why do you think like that?” I tell them, “Don’t ask why. Ask what happened?”

I Want You To Rock The Playlist

By Asha Pearl Sparrock

The

perfect playlist has become somewhat of an anomaly since the skyrocketing success of streaming platforms. In the early 2000s, we’d obsess over the perfect song to match the concept of your MySpace pages.

Our “away” status on AOL would have to be some prophetic lyrics from Alicia Keys or Britney Spears to make others think, “Huh, I wonder what they’re going through.” I still remember the first time a boy burned a mixtape for me on a CD before moving to a different state and how those songs became the soundtrack of my summer of 2010. With immediate access to absolutely every artist’s discography on Apple Music, Tidal, Google Play, and Spotify, the notion of creating the “perfect playlist” for every occasion is far-fetched.

Spotify creates playlists based on every mood, every occasion, and every cycle of life. Fans of TikTok sensations? There’s a playlist of all the viral music from the social media giant. Love the high-energy club music from the mid-2010s?

There’s a “Top Hits of 2010” playlist for you.

Just woke up and want to feel like you’re in a coffee shop instantly? “Coffee + Chill” is there and ready. However, these are just the playlists created by Spotify. Some subscribers share their playlists. The interludes between commercial breaks and shows on the network Adult Swim also had unique sounds. Ever wondered what that would sound like on a playlist? Look up “Adult Swim” on Spotify and see that dozens of users have created their playlists, all with the same vibes.

The music that gets us ready for a game or manifests the vibe for the day is not the same for everyone. While some need to be screamed at by YoungBoy NBA, others need the soothing tone of Snoh Aalegra. One of the best things about playlists is the ability to express ourselves through music in a way that brings us together.

Kevin Sparrock and Asha Pearl Sparrock share their unique music tastes for each occasion on The IrREFutable Magazine Spotify.

ASHA’S HYPE TRAVEL PLAYLIST

How basic can you be to start a travel playlist off with ‘Life is A Highway’? Trust me, this is the perfect way to start off that long road trip, train route, or air ride to your destination. With hits from Stevie Wonder, Rihanna, Lenny Kravits, and much more! This is Asha’s Hype Travel Playlist.

KEVIN’S JAZZ RUN PLAYLIST

Don’t ask me why I don’t have that upbeat run playlist.

Hardcore beats just don’t do it for me. I need that light background tune to get me going, and it keeps me in my thoughts and eases my pace. That horn or piano creates a rhythm that brings out my best when I run. This is Kevin’s Jazz Run Playlist

A Childs Point of Contact

By Asha Pearl Sparrock

Realistically,

the idea of having the perfect work-life balance doesn’t exist. Someone or some tasks will get the short end of the stick. The true testament to doing your best as a family member and a functioning working adult is making difficult decisions and accepting the consequences - good or bad. That wasn’t a concept I truly understood until later in my life, and I don’t think it’s something any child would know until they are in their parent’s position.

Being told, “You might get fired for taking off from work the day before Thanksgiving.” was a ludicrous idea for a 19-year-old. What do you mean I could be fired? Doesn’t everyone want to spend time with their family? Regardless of how some may feel towards their families, I always assumed that people would like to be surrounded by loved ones during the holiday season. How could I be punished for that? I still found myself as a 19-year-old with her third switch in college majors. I had a job - not a career.

My basketball official/graphic designer dad went away a lot while I was growing up.

I can recall the times he was home during the day. It was such a normal thing in my childhood, and I thought everyone’s dad’s jobs required that to go away a lot. I had grown accustomed to seeing my mom throughout the day and my dad every once in a while.

Fast-forward to high school - my rebellious teenage years. Although, if you were to ask either of my parents, they’d lie and tell you how great I was. But, like all teenagers, I had my moments. I remember the routine during the holidays: Dad’s house on Thanksgiving eve. Mom’s on Thanksgiving day. Mom’s house on Christmas Eve. Dad’s on Christmas day. My brother and I didn’t have the set-in-stone “every other weekend” like most of our friends had. If our dad had a game in D.C., we’d travel with him no matter what time of the year it was. Sometimes, because we lived so close to New York City, we’d take New Jersey Transit to Madison Square Garden and sit so close to the court; it felt like we were the children of celebrities. Watching the games was exciting. The waiting afterward while my dad and his colleagues looked over tapes and showered felt like hours. But, it was his job. I never got upset because I knew I didn’t want to look like the bratty kid he brought along to his workplace.

As my dad transitioned in his career to freelance artist and became a vet in the WNBA, his schedule became more sporadic and demanding. My siblings and I also grew older with our own jobs and activities that required so much more of our attention. When you get older, there’s more responsibility put on the sons and daughters to make their own effort to see their parents. Of course, the priorities of one person doesn’t always translate to others.

As a 15-year-old, I know my sister thinks it’s the end of the world if she misses one session of volleyball practice. I know this, because when I was 15, I remember thinking I would be hated by all my friends and teachers if I missed a day of play rehearsal.

My brother, an overachieving freelance artist, barely makes time to feed himself most days or see the light of day. He’s often glued to his computer working on commission after commission. And then there’s myself, my father’s oldest. While dozens of memes are out there explaining the plight of the eldest child, I’ll share my experience: I’ve changed majors 4 different times and worked as a server and bartender in 5 different locations. I became a teacher’s assistant for a few years while still working at restaurants. In the midst of it all, I worked on different passion projects that eventually fizzled out because, let’s be honest, I’m still trying to find myself as a creator. The extra weight of being the eldest is also trying to set the best example for the younger siblings. When work was overwhelming and life seemed to be just a little too much, I’d still make time to see my dad when he was around. Rarely do I say I don’t have time because, in my mind, it’s just the thing I have to do.

Out of the dozens of life lessons, my dad taught his children over the years, the one that stands out the most is this: It’s never as good as you think it is. It’s never as bad as you think it is. Applying that to every aspect of my day-to-day life had made an immeasurable impact on my experience with balancing work and life. Listening to my mind and body’s needs has shifted with this phrase in the back of my mind. It will not be the end of the world if I wait a few extra weeks to spend time with my family. My tasks will get done as long as I dedicate time and effort. Not everyone will be happy with my boundaries, but those who truly care for my well-being will respect them.

Love Yourz It

feels like social media picks and chooses when it wants to be in its spirituality bag. It’s hard to find those who aren’t doing things for the views or likes but simply projecting all of the positive energy they could conjure up. It’s hard to be positive all of the time, and it’s impossible. And when it’s that hard, it’s even harder to share the positivity with such a constant air of negativity. But today, on this gloomy, rainy day, I’m only allowing positive thoughts to take space in my mind. I am only granting access to energies that promote growth. I will dive headfirst into my work and hope that it touches others.

On one of the many spiritual-based posts on Instagram, I read ‘that today, I should reflect on the choices I’ve made in my past and trust that they’ve led me to where I am now.’ My decisions allowed me to be in the space I am in today. Something I have the most challenging time accepting, despite being nothing but the truth in it, is that “I’ve made the best decision with the resources I’ve been given.” I always wish I had done better. That’s nothing but regret speaking. When the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Day, I made my resolution to be intentional. When you’re intentional, you have fewer regrets. Fewer moments do you look back on and ponder why that was the direction you decided to go in.

22

I made my resolution to be intentional.

When you’re intentional, you have fewer regrets.

While digging deeper into the significance of this date, there are so many contradictory statements. It can feel like a weight having to consider every lesson that “should” be learned today. Some sources say this is the time to allow others to affirm our choices, and some say this day signifies us stepping into a portal of ascension. Even Spotify has created a wealth of playlists with nothing but high vibrational beats and feel-good tunes. I don’t fully understand a lot of this, and I’m not even sure if this is something that needs to be brought into my awareness. I know that I need to do the best I can with what I’ve got.

Call it seasonal depression. Say it’s the change in meds. Maybe it’s the job transitioning. I’ve had a hard go at it. Most days, I can’t get myself out of bed before noon. The motivation to be productive at home or at work doesn’t seem to be there. It feels like a collective effort by my mind and body to make me be the least productive person on the planet. Though I know that’s not true; my mind continues to make me feel low.

How do you combat that? How do you fight with yourself to love yourself?

Self-love starts with awareness. I am aware that there are parts of myself that I’d like to change. However, I’d like to celebrate the parts of myself that I love.

Self-love is work. I’m not doing what I’d like to be doing right now, but I am working towards it. I am doing everything in my power to work toward being in a position that will make me happy. Every time I work for myself, I am proud of myself.

Self-love is getting help. Therapy. Psychiatry. Group sessions.

Spending time with family. Catching up with friends. Communication. Going on dates with your partner. Going on dates with yourself.

If all else fails and social media becomes overwhelming, the articles don’t make sense, and you’re busy wondering why you don’t feel the way you “should” feel, read this. Know that I am right there with you. This is not a journey that gets you from point A to point B. Know that you are worthy of love from others, but most importantly, yourself. If it doesn’t feel like everything is aligned and you’re not gaining the clarity everyone else seems to be gaining on this day, know that you are where you need to be in this moment.

Feels different.

It’s the same but feels different

episode one of the HBO series, Ted Lasso, the main character, is hired as the new coach of the soccer team AFC Richmond. Upon arriving into England, Ted Lasso comes to the arena, walks onto the field, takes a knee, and touches the grass.

He looks up at his assistant coach Beard and says, “Feels different. It’s the same but feels different”.

I remember my first experience refereeing a game with players on the court. The smell of the gym was memorable—the hardwood floors were imperfect, creaky, and unleveled. The baseline had a particular sag near the basket, and that first step felt uncertain. I remember The roar from disappointed fans, coaches, and players, and they could care less that today was my first day.

Whenever I go to a new arena, I walk onto the court and touch the wood floor. “Feels different. It’s the same but feels different.” Many days I questioned my ability to do this job, I often failed. My bright spot was the next game. The smell, the wood floor, reminds me of that first day.

I do love the smell of the gym. Smells like potential.

He doesn’t Like me

2 I

had two off-ball offensive fouls. The coach didn’t believe either. He said, “They’re flopping.” They weren’t. In the first play, the ball was transitioning up the court in the backcourt. I didn’t get all of the information. I failed to get my eyes on the defensive player as he attempted to gain a legal guarding position on the transitioning post player. The post player had his eyes over his shoulder, looking back at the ball.

He never saw it coming. My guess, it was a block. The defender slipped in late. But who would know? It wasn’t on tape, and everyone had their eyes on the player in the backcourt watching the ball.

Play two. I was ready, and I saw the set up then the crash. The defender set up nicely took a deep breath and took the contact center in the chest.

Coach screamed, “They’re flopping. What are you doing? You just don’t like me.”

I responded, “OK.” He realized I wasn’t entertaining his conversation and approached my partner. “He doesn’t like me.” The conversation became a whisper far from my visual field.

My partner approached me at the next timeout. “Coach says you don’t like him.”

“I don’t. But if I did like him, what would it change?”

For the good of the game Thank you coach.

Once

upon a time I had a coach that received a technical foul and a warning for unsportsmanlike behavior from me every game. On several occasions he was ejected. Some games his team would win and sometimes they would loose.

Some worst than others.

Then one day after seven possibly eight years, it stopped. I refereed and he coached.

He asked questions and I answered them. We agreed to disagree. Im not sure what changed. Was I better referee than I was years ago? Was my approach better? Did I hear more and speak less? Was I getting plays right and he could see that? Did I minimize my mistakes? Maybe he saw me move up the ranks and thought, “he’s not that bad of a referee”. Maybe the line was drawn in the sand, we respected what we did and did our jobs. Maybe something changed in him or maybe he just thought I sucked, tolerated what I called and would take his feelings to the grave. Maybe.

Maybe. Maybe. I did know, what I was doing was flawed response. I never got a chance to ask him why it stopped. Im not sure I was prepared for the answer, but Im glad it did. It was toxic. Our former selves wasn’t good for the game.
