Well Bob, if saying calling 'em both ways is accusing them of cheating, then I guess I should get a T. I guess it's all in how you take it. It could very easily be construed as, you perhaps are not being consistent on both ends of the floor and calling contact on one team a foul and perhaps not on the other.
Considering the play that it happened on was a CLEAR FOUL, I guess I thought a warning would be in order. I heard the slap, the bench heard the slap, the fans heard the slap and nary a whistle was heard.
I guess I did deserve the T then, because at thought point I did think the other team had the refs in their pocket. I know enough to know which fouls have some judgement to them and which are no brainers.
I start to wonder when my best player is on the bench 30 seconds into the half on one borderline and one ticky tack foul. If that's the way your gonna call them, fine, call 'em that way on everyone and I won't complain. But to see the contact they let go after that, including a clear obvious foul, I don't think call 'em both ways was out of line. I've had refs give me "the look" after one protestation to many and have had them say quietly that "That one was close, but I'm trying hard, give me a break huh!" or something similar. And each time I backed off.
I guess I expected more out of tournament ref's.

It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
