Have you learned that it's not always what someone, say a coach, says but how they say it that earns them a T? The same approach applies in all walks of life, Clay. You have to earn respect and clearly by the way you choose to express yourself you aren't getting that concept. Maturity is something that grows over time. It's your choice to allow it to grow or not. Not everything is black and white and your experience and abilities as an official can only be bolstered so far by what you read in a forum like this. The rest is how you carry yourself while applying the concepts you have learned. If you carry yourself on the court the way you have in your posts, I think I can understand why you might not be getting those championship games assigned to you yet.
