Since 1967 ...

I've been playing, observing, coaching, and officiating interscholastic basketball since 1967.

Never observed a flop called. Never called a flop.

I've orally warned as few players to watch out, but I'm not going to be the one to call the first flop call I've observed in fifty-five years.

I'd rather die on another hill.

Who knows? Maybe, before I hang up my whistle, I'll see such an obvious flop that I'll have no choice but to call it?
