Next time, use English and logic, please.

The type of play you are talking about is just a simple out of bounds play. Not fouls, not other violations, not even whether a basket counts.

Yes, I know what I said. I pointed out one VERY SIMPLE AND SPECIFIC EXAMPLE. You confused the issue by trying to prove me wrong with tangents.

You are talking about balks, pulled feet, dropping of the baseball and just about any other call that you feel took place.

Again, all things that can be called incorrectly, what is your point?

But then again, you know the procedure and how it applies to basketball. Because I have never been taught on the basketball court to "get it right" in front of my partner, because I disagree with the call. That is what you are advocating.

No I'm not. Jurassic Referee made a comment that was incorrect. I provided a very real example. You jumped in and found out that the water is very deep.

If that is wrong, I am sure you will tell me.
I just did.

I am not so much concerned about a pulled foot as I am when you mentioned changing a balk call based on judgment.

I gave you an example of an incorrect judgement call on a balk that required correction. What is your problem understanding it? Everyone else understood it.

The term "trust your partner" comes to mind there.
Do you need me to go to McGriff's and copy your comment about sometimes having the need to change an incorrect call?
Your words will come back to haunt you.

You seem to know more about that than JR, who has more officiating experience than most of us here.

I know of a guy that worked 42 years of youth baseball. His forty two years did not come in handy when he was asked to fill in as my partner at an Amrican Legion tournament. He made two calls that cost one team the ball game. "Experience" versus doing it for a long time are two different animals.

You seem to know what is acceptable in that game. I agree there are some comparisons, but your example does not apply. Because basketball officials do not "change" our partner's calls, we give help.
When the situation arises, I give my partner my persepctive. If we agree that the call should be changed, we do it - together!

And we do not give help on plays where our partners are all over it.

Like an incorrect balk or a foul ball off the pole?


Please tell me how many basketball camps you have taught at None...i find basketball to be boring.

I have actually been a clinician at basketball camps and taught these procedure. So tell me how much you understand the game of basketball officiating more that me? Since that is your argument for knowing what to do in baseball as your explaination.
If that is your conclusion, then your reading teacher should be fired. Did you notice that you are the only one trying to argue this? Jurassic Referee realizes that his point was challenged successfully and hasn't said a peep. You continue to stun us with your revisionist sense of history.

Even Custer knew when he was going to lose the battle.
You ran out of bullets a long time ago.
By the way, I never once mentioned your race, size or shape. But you keep throwing barbs at HHH. Can't you argue effectively without calling names?
