That is about as big of a lie as you could tell.
The ratings system for playoffs includes your Part 1 score.
Therefore, cheating to get a higher score WILL make the difference between two officials that are very close in all other comparisons. I'm sure that Kurt will be in touch very soon.

I have actually had a conversation with Kurt about the playoff assigning. I have also seen the man speak several times about the process he assigns official. I know many people in our state that receive the test answers and those officials cannot get a single playoff game in either Boy's or Girl's basketball. So if the test was such an important piece of consideration, then it has not shown up in the type of assignments people receive.
You have threatened me over and over again by claiming you are going to report me for something I have said. I have yet to be contacted by anyone. I introduced myself to everyone that assigns me to playoff assignments and people you claim would contact me. The only way they seem to know me is when they have seen me work a game. Anthony knew me from watching me work a game in DeKalb, Illinois. I was asked to sit on a committee by Dave. I had a conversation with Kurt about basketball and I received a call from Dave this past weekend about another manner. Not one time have they ever talked to me about his site or suggested that I have stated anything out of line. Not one time. As a matter of fact, I have received 2 playoff assignments since your little threats. So I will see Kurt on November 6 and I am supposed to talk to him about another issue at the request of a Rules Interpreter and Clinician. So I am sure this will come up. Not that the man has other issues to worry about. But it is not like I have never been called from the IHSA about anything in the past.
Peace
