Whatever you want to imagine, making yourself feel like the god of officiating. You seem to stretch the facts to support your concept. Youre using scenarios that I never wrote nor implied in my post.
You can choose to use your philosophy by always blowing your whistle at the very instant you see a foul or violation.
You might have the remembrance to all rules and regulations of NFHS basketball but IMO, based on your written words;
youre not a very good official.
[/B][/QUOTE]I guess that you don't feel like answering those questions, right, Johnny? Somehow, that doesn't really surprise me.
What may surprise you is that I possibly might just happen to understand the value of a delayed whistle on a play. And you also may be surprised that I most certainly do agree with and advocate that concept. And, seriously, I read the Tower Concept before you even dreamed of becoming an official. However, to recommend delaying your whistle until a
subsequent play is
over is simply ludicrous imo.
As to your other statement regarding my competency as an official simply because I didn't agree with your misguided(imo) philosophy, well, the newer, kindlier and gentlier(sic) JR chooses not to respond to that.
You may not like or agree with me personally, but it might behoove you to maybe think about your position when others beside myself disagree vehemently with it. Believe it or not, posters like Nevada and BZ really, really do know what they are talking about. These guys are very knowledgable officials- on rules, mechanics and philosophy. I always have respected their opinions fully, even though we may have happened to disagree every now and then.
Lah me.
