He can&#8217;t. He couldn&#8217;t even stand to watch it on TV. He&#8217;s promised himself he&#8217;ll have nothing to do with the state tournament until he makes it there himself.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, by the way, Dr. Sorgen, who recently was named a UNMC Distinguished Scientist, is a high school basketball official. That&#8217;s right, a zebra. The man with the whistle and the stripes.<\/p>\n<p><B>Tournament a big deal for refs, too<\/B><\/p>\n<p>Making the state tournament is the ultimate goal for the referees, too, Dr. Sorgen said. Just the way it is for a player, or a coach. Dr. Sorgen&#8217;s cadence picked up speed just talking about it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s very much a goal,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s the ultimate goal for what we do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sorgen hopes he&#8217;s getting close to becoming respected enough to make the state tournament. But again, there are parallels to coaching and playing (and perhaps research as well): there is skill level. There is hard work and preparation. But always, there&#8217;s a little luck involved, too.<\/p>\n<p><B>A full slate of games<\/B><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sorgen generally works about 60 varsity games a year in Omaha and the surrounding area. His fellow referees know he works at UNMC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They joke around that I&#8217;m a rocket scientist,&#8221; Dr. Sorgen said.<\/p>\n<p>But he keeps his day job a secret from coaches. They might use his identity  against him when arguing for calls.<\/p>\n<p><I>&#8220;What? You can investigate intra- and intermolecular interactions that define the structure of the major cardiac gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43) during pH gating, but you can&#8217;t call three seconds?&#8221;<\/I><\/p>\n<p><B>An enjoyable atmosphere<\/B><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sorgen serves as a referee because he enjoys the exercise, the crowd, the band, the competitiveness and the atmosphere that saturates every game of high school hoops.<\/p>\n<p>The state tournament is the epitome of all that. It would be great to go see it. But, not this year. Not yet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I do go to state,&#8221; he said, &#8220;then thereafter, I would go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"nxOl PT Y waRyCC uCPTiV\"><!-- nxOl PT Y waRyCC uCPTiV --><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paul Sorgen, Ph.D., associate professor in the College of Medicine, didn&#8217;t quite make it to the Nebraska high school basketball state tournament this year.
