mathews, #1 I used the word virtually because a T with two seconds "usually" assures points to the other team. In this case it did not, so the outcome was "not" necessarily determined.
But I can tell a big difference between cmathews and Dinosaur...cmathews can laugh it off when fans get goofy, but Dino gets upset and lets his emotions take over. You have to remember, Dino, some fans use heckling as one of the good experiences about going to the game (me!)...so don't get upset and convince yourself how smart you are and how dumb they are. "They have never read a rule book." "They are so biased." Both are true, but neither matter! We are the fans and have a role. You are the refs and have a role. Forget about the fans, or laugh at the good lines and ignore the rest. I think I can identfy your type on the court, vs. cmathews type. Just like the difference between cops that have an "all powerful" attitude and the cool types who do their job, but don't assume that they cannot be happy or kind.
And, of course, the best part is when we can get a visual chuckle out of a ref. I have done that once, in Provo.
Do any of you all ref BYU games?
