If your partner is an arrogant, egotistical, SOB
he can ruin a great game with just one call.
Case in point: San Diego State versus University of San Diego on Wednesday night.
Last minute of game with narrow difference in score:
Dave Libbey (he of several Final Fours and he who runs a basketball officiating camp)has a no-call, for which the USD coach comments: "That was a foul, Dave."
No profanity. No attempt at embarrassment. Game on the line.
and BAM .... here comes the T that changes the complexity of the whole game and ruins it for partners and players.
This kind of crap ruins it for those who understand the game
and gives reason for coaches to lose respect for those
who actually develop relationships and provide service.
