Can of worms? Touching nerves? Stepping on toes? You've completely lost me,Tim. You asked for our opinions. That's what you got. If they don't agree with yours, hey-that's too bad. It's nothing personal.

It's just my opinion that there's just one heckuva lot more things that are important on an evaluation than saying "on the floor".However,you are right that the officials in your association should listen to you if you are their interpreter. That's doesn't mean that your advice is valid for other associations and their interpreters,though.
