That tells me I will keep doing exactly what I am doing. It must be working.
"Beat the tape." This is my mantra and the thing that keeps me out of trouble.
I had a coach today that wanted me to not to be "sarcastic" with his player after his player asked a question and I explained to the player why a foul was not called. The player did not box out and got out jumped and the little contact that took place he was complaining about a foul that 3 of us passed on. That coach acted like I was being sarcastic when I answered a direct question with a direct answer. Now if I did not answer the question or talk to his player, that would have been a problem too.
Now if this situation took place with this coach I just referenced, I am convinced he would make an issue out of what kind of call you made and what rule you applied as he was making issues out of other things in this game I am mentioning that took place tonight. Maybe where you guys work, no one cares about those things. But where I work, the little things coaches can get a bug up their behind and try to get you to look bad even when you are totally correct. That is why it matters to me if it is clearly a dead ball or just about to be a dead ball. Since we have no monitor, I would not want to give them any ammo. I have been doing college ball long enough to hear the things coaches complain to supervisors about and often they are petty in nature. But hey, I have no point right?

My point has nothing to do with not "beating the tape," but I'm not surprised you are incapable or unwilling to comprehend that. You don't have a valid response to my argument so you bring in stuff that was never the issue to begin with. No one on this thread has suggested that it is not important to "beat the tape"; that is something you made up.
Par for the course, I reckon.
