I guess if this is the worst critique they can come up with, I had a pretty good game. [emoji16]
This is truly one of the dumber things basketball officials obsess over.

Totally agree. In my training class to begin my career, our instructor said that 'schools are very proud of their colors' and that it's disrespectful to call a local team (that even has the word Purple in their nickname) 'blue'.
First JV game of my career, a well respected varsity official tells me after the game, "Don't ever say purple out there again". Now I work varsity with both guys from time to time and make it a point to ask in pregame or during warmups what we'll call this team.
