I officiated basketball with Mac for many years.  I can honestly say he was respected by coaches, players, fellow officials and spectators as well.  Jimmy Mac was a positive person with a smile on his face at all times.  I remember teaching a basketball officiating class to the prisoners at McNiel Island with Mac in the late 70s.  At the end of the session Mac offered a student-inmate a whistle and suggested he look him up when he gets out so the two could officiate together.  The inmate replied "No way" because he had a few life sentences to serve.  Mac had a heart of gold and did everything he could to engage others.
