JR,
You seem to be taking all of this a bit personally, so I apologize if you think I am attacking you, your viewpoint, or anything you said.
I was under the impression that we were all using this forum to discuss our viewpoints and situations to help us improve ourselves for the reasons of our choosing....not to attack one another and/or cut up every thing that we say.
That said, your viewpoint of me is irrelivant in this situation, I am not trying to prove MY point....I am giving my viewpoint and experience on the subject, please note I said " it seems ", as well as " a strong" and not " THE strong", and it was my understanding that the original post went something like " if one official signals a three-pointer, but another official is CERTAIN that the shooter was on or inside.." which is why I stated the original post was about a three-point attempt.
The way you are describing handling the situation and the way the Fed says to handle the situation are ways that I would exactly handle the situation if I was OVERRULING a call by my partner ( Call, in my opinion, would be something my partner blows his whistle on...ie, in my opinion, an out of bounds call...which I also stated ). The original post, if I remember correctly, is about one partner signaling a three, and another partner, BEING CERTAIN, signals a two.
I stated what my experiences and viewpoints were, and the reality that I or anyone else may who have simliar viepoints MAY HAVE TO CHANGE THAT VIEWPOINT depending on the conferences they officiate. I further stated that as " a strong official ", which I believe I am, I ( not everyone else, anyone else, or whomever else, but ME ME ME ) would not make the DEFINITIVE SIGNAL that the shooter was, in fact, on the line unless I was 3000% SURE, telling my partner I am sure I got this. I ALSO said that if my partner did this to me, I would trust him 100% and roll with his call....because this is the answer that I have been given time and again on the situation, and RESPECTFULLY disagreed that having this viewpoint made me an official who is NOT a team player....
and you break all of this down and attack me for it?
Interesting.
