[South GA BBall Ref]

This forum is indeed a little diffrent from others, however, among the occasional "ribbing" is a wealth of information. Like you, I initially found some of the posts seemingly inappropriate (not officiating-related), however, in reflection, I find them no different than the conversations that I have with fellow officials that I work with on a night-in-night-out basis.

In most instances, after about 5 years of officiating experience, you are not gonna learn a whole lot more about the rules of basketball or mechanics, but you have to glean those small nuggets of insight that polishes your talent and skills. I think that this is what you should try to take from the posts. Find that "little" things to improve your game and the other "BS" that you feel you encounter, throw it in the trash.
