Let me ask you this Mulk.
You call everything to the letter of the rulebook and casebook? You never call anything based on a philosophy or what people call the "spirit of the rules?"
So you call 3 seconds no matter what the player is doing?
You call all uniform and administrative rules to the letter (Shadow lines, size of the numbers, length of the net).
You T every coach that has a foot outside of the coaching box?
Have you ever attended a camp of any kind?
Have you ever spoken to an official at a level above yourself?
How many officials do you know that want to work 7th and 8th grade games all season long? I am not talking about the 30 year veterans that had their college schedules and State Final credentials that now their knees cannot take the punishment of kids more than 2 times their age. I am talking about the new officials that has just started or been around for a few years.
Because if all these answers are what I think they are, then I really do not see how you can even play a game, let alone not start every game with a T. But that is what the rules say.
Better yet, read the "3 second" post that has started sometime today and tell all those officials what rulebook are they reading. Why don't you tell them how wrong they are and to look up the rules in the rulebook and casebook. See how far that gets you.
Peace
