[It was a normal winter night in Indianapolis. Sneakers squeaking, nets swishing and kids playing basketball. It was just a regular season game between Arsenal Tech and Herron at Municipal Gardens, but for Casey Gaynor, it was the final box to check.
"My two biggest goals I had when I got into officiating was obviously working the state finals, and the second one was to get to every school," Gaynor said. "I bought Dale Lawrence's 'Hoosier Hysteria Road Book' a long time ago, and that fueled my desire to get to every school."
Tuesday night, he did just that, as Don Stout Gymnasium was the final hurdle. Twenty-six years and tens of thousands of miles in the car later, Gaynor has now refereed a game at every single current IHSAA member school. That's more than 400 gymnasiums in the state of Indiana.]
