Congratulations and Farewell Wayne Maidment

I didn't realise you'd grown up Matt.

As a young kid growing up, I wanted to referee the 36ers. And here was a guy who actually did it. Whenever I was lucky enough to step out onto the court with Wayne, I had to take a deep breath as I knew for those next 40 minutes, I was going to 'the learning tree'.
I wish to further add to the compliments and gratitude for all the time you managed to provide me with tips on how to better service the game of basketball!

I would like to congratulate Wayne on his career, what a great achievement. I would also like to thank him for the guidance and direction he provided to me when I was coming through the ranks, it taught me how to be professional, treat every game with respect and how to communicate with both players and coaches. Thank you wayne and best wishes for the future.

Without refs there is no game. 450 games since 1987 is quite an achievement. Well done.
