Jeff Rutledge,
Let's put your reputation up against mine. Who am I?
You seem to be pretty certain lately. Throw my name out there and I'll throw my resume up here for all to say. It seems that more than a few people would be interested. Come on, put your money where your mouth is.

Secondly, I took a chance in publishing a risque new mechanic and asking my colleagues to give it a try. From the get go, you've argued that it goes against everything you've been taught, shown and talked about. Well, enough people have now seen that I actually knew what I was talking about for the last eight months and we have yet to see one post that shows a logical stance from you. As our democratic Presidential candidate said, "It's one thing to be certain. It's another to be certain and wrong." You were challenged earlier to provide evidence to bolster your claims. I'm still waiting. We're still waiting.
Windy, you've very conveniently forgotting that our old argument was whether a basketball official could OVERRULE another basketball official. You said that they could OVERRULE! Now you go ahead and try and apply that same philosophy to the situation last night. If Randy Marsh said that he DIDN'T miss that call, could Joe West have OVERRULED Marsh? Somehow I don't think so. Neither Jeff or myself ever said that the officials shouldn't get together, and the calling official shouldn't change his call to get it right if he wasn't sure of his call, and got new info. We both said that you couldn't overrule another official in basketball though. Quit trying to re-write history to bolster your arguments.

As for the name-calling, you're doing it to Jeff Rutledge again- see your post in this thread of 3:03pm today. And again, you did it with no justification, just like Bob Lyle did in another post. You two are a good pair when it comes to that type of unprofessional behaviour. Jmo, whether either of you like it or not.

PS- the word is "risky", not "risque".
