Aaahhh yes, the subtle finesse of the boisterous over-ruler. Which way to the pier?
All for a point. No not to make clear an important concept... I mean a point, a single point, a score of one, in a basketball game full of single points. One official goes on, unaware of the inflicted injury as the town braggadocio, another goes to the pier of infamy, and one team looses a single point in a game of missed shots and violations.
A different perception.
I guess this has prepared me for when someone bragadocio does it to me. Yeah, whatever, partner. Water off a duck's back... at the pier.

I'm left thinking you both have egos that are far too tender to be doing this type of work. I'm also left thinking someone who doesn't value each and every single point doesn't get the idea of this whole I-win-you-lose stuff.
And I'm also left wondering whatinthehell is the big deal. Some of us have used this system, it works for us, and a power-that-is happens to think this might be a good way for everyone to do it. I agree with him/her/it.
If you're too concerned about being showed up in front of the assembled masses then demand your 20 second huddle before you finally agree to change your mind. But make sure you do the demanding during the pregame. Or forever hold your peace.
