“There’s no future or past – only now now now.” – Tim Jinks
Tim and I have been through many a battle together. We once had a game where we witnessed not one jump ball, not 2 – but 76 jump balls. He discusses his humble beginnings in Hempstead, NY, his love of basketball, and where he wants to take all of it in officiating. All that and more, my conversation with Tim, now.
