On a free throw? I honestly do believe that "diarrhea of the mouth" is a fitting and apt term for what you advocate. I'm completely with Chuck on this one. There's no need at all for you to conduct a rules clinic on every FT. [/B]

To clarify, I do not advocate this for every free throw and certainly do not consider it to be a rules clinic issue. Perhaps you are not comfortable communicating or maybe you are not very good at it (no offense intended). And yes, my experienced mentors over the years passed this trait to me, good or bad, it's what I do. [/B][/QUOTE]
If you can't say your side in a few words, you will have a much bigger problem.
One, you should not feel the need to explain calls, if a coach or player asks a question, fine I'll answer. If they are making statements, I'm not going to explain ANYTHING.
Two, if you are getting into repeated "conversations" you are asking to have every call you make questioned.
Everyone has their own style, some are more talkative, some are not, but being confident, calm, and careful with your words does not make you unapproachable.
