The rulebook is not going to change for one conference and a situation that is totally experimental.
That is my point, you argue that the rule book doesnt allow for an official to be overruled. I have just shown you that the rule book does not contain the provision for this years instant replay experiment in the Big Ten as well as the basketball scenario. You cant have it both ways.
What is your point?
You wouldnt understand.
What does this have to do with the issue we are talking about?
Ive tried to explain rationally, you appear to be beyond help. But Im certain that the other readers are starting to figure you out.
Basketball officials do not work on a crew. They work with different people all the time. Not sure what your point is there either.
You seem to be enamored with D-1 status and rubbing elbows with those who work that schedule. Yet...you continue to tell someone at that level that you know more. I can see why you have to talk to them at meetings rather than on the field or court.
You are coming to a basketball board, referencing Digger Phelps of all people and his comments about what officials did on a court? You did not just say that. I cannot believe you just said that. So I assume that you consider Rob Dibble as an umpiring expert? So when he talks about umpires and the job they screw up, he knows what he is talking about?
Yes, actually I think that both of the gentlemen you mentioned are better versed than you. Coach Phelps was coaching College basketball before you were born. Im fairly certain that he can recognize and error in a call, we did. As for Dibble, are you telling us that he went blind? Where do I send the card? He kept staring at an 84 Plasma on Baseball Tonight and diagraming things on the telestrator, but he was just faking it??? I guess when you slow down a play and freeze frame a call, there is no way to see what actually occurred unless you are one of the game officials. Shut up before you embarrass yourself even more!
You did it again. So when Dan Patrick discusses the rules, they know what they are talking about? Are you really an official? You work D1 ball and Minor League Ball and you are seriously quoting media personalities about bad calls as your explanation of your point of view? Next thing you are going to tell me is that NFL Primetime is a great place to learn NFL Rules and Philosophy? I guess I should watch NFL Countdown and listen to Jaws about what the "tuck rule" or explain to us when the officials misapplied a rule?
Did your mother drop you when you were little? Are you trying to say that you cant watch a highlight/replay show, see bad call, recognize them and discuss them without being an official in that sport? They televise sports for a reason, so that millions of people who cant be there, can see the action. Millions of armchair quarterbacks second guess calls every day. The guys that do it on TV are being paid for their opinions. And yes, when Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Sterling Sharp and Troy Aikman explain something, Ill listen. And Ill give them the same credence that I gave Bruce Froemming when he explained his blown call on WGN yesterday.
Well I have been working basketball for 9 years. Eight of those years I have worked almost entirely varsity ball. And none of that means anything. Other than the facts that I have been to a lot of camps, taught at camps and currently help run organizations to completely understand procedures and practices. You on the other hand have not been to any of those things according to you.
And your point is... (on the top of your head?)
You have been working more that 30 years at baseball? That is not what you said before.
You should read better. You keep insisting that Im a guy in my mid-thirties. So, you are wrong on many fronts.
What does that have to do with not ever working basketball? We are talking basketball (and you mentioned football, another sport you do not work)?
Uh, oh...isnt that what I tell you on the Baseball Board. You dont like it when I talk about reference another sport? Do you need me to hotlink all of those times you were chastised for doing?

Thank you again for your post. You just proved my point and I did not have to point it out.
Thats frickin perfect...I couldnt have written your line any better. You were off point several times, used poor grammar, alluded to facts that were incorrect and challenged those that have far more knowledge and experience. I can almost hear the others laughing at you now. Did you notice that none of your basketball compadres are coming to your rescue on this one? All they can say is, Leave him alone, go back to the Baseball Board. Yet, you keep coming back for another whuppin. Ill wait for your next statement of genius and give everyone another good laugh.
