It was the final home game for the men's and women's basketball team which required some extra effort, planning, and coordination throughout the day for the games. Since it was senior night too, we had things going on during all parts of the games. Prior to the start of the women's game the two seniors on the team were honored. During the game we held promotional contests, checked in with the VIP suite to ensure they had everything they need to enjoy the game, and handed out signs to fans in the crowd. Working with the promotions coordinator we had a couple of contests to give away a donated gift card. Prior to the start of the men's game the four seniors were honored. At halftime we had four different dance teams there were to perform in the short amount of time available. I worked closely with the coaches and dancers to make sure that each team was set up and ready to go onto the court and then get each team off the court in a timely manner. All the contests that we had planned for each of the games went perfectly and without any issues. As basketball season comes to an end it was great to gain experience in multiple areas of college basketball this season. I learned what it takes to promote and engage the crowd during games. I also learned about game management and what the game manager is required to do during basketball games and feel confident that I could be successful in either of these areas of college athletics.
