One major problem would be you comprehending my post with your own understanding that I wrote to always hold my whistle until a play a new subsequent play has begun. I dont care how many years you have officiated basketball games. It does not mean you are a better official than someone who has 1 or 2 years. Years have nothing to do with being a good official. You always write to put others down and to create yourself as being better than everyone else.
Why bring others in to this reply? Do you need others to support you? I have not stated I dislike or like you. I merely disagree with your reply, not to include Tom, Dick or Harry. Your knowledge is well respected by me and maybe others. The topic isnt about you or me, yet you seem to bring it to such lows. Try sticking to the topic and not to write to belittle a person.
[/B][/QUOTE](a) I have never posted anywhere or at any time that I am a better official than someone who has 1 or 2 years.
(b) I will put
"you always write to put others down and to create yourself as being better than everyone else" in the same basket as
"making youself feel like the god of officiating" and
"based on your written words, you are not a very good official". I think that those statements speak for themselves and there's no need for me to respond to them any further, other than to say they hardly go hand-in-hand with
"Your knowledge is well respected by me". Whatever.
(c)I respect the opinions of the others that have responded to you in this thread- i.e. Nevada, BZ, BITSy amongst others too numerous to mention. They have all earned that respect (for whatever
that is worth
) by previously displaying an excellent knowledge of the rules, mechanics and philosophies of basketball officiating. Now, having said that, if you've read this forum for a while, then you haven't been paying much attention. We disagree with each other occasionally- sometimes very vehemently also. We hardly "kiss up to each other", as you put it. I think that we do respect each other though, no matter how strongly we might disagree at times.
Bottom line, Johnny. I respect
your right to have
your opinion. I think that your opinion in this particular thread is completely wrong. I personally wouldn't advise anybody at any level to follow your advice. That's just
my opinion though. If you wanna let it go at that, fine with me. If you want to continue and make some more remarks about how bad an official I must be and detail some of my other failings too, well....have at it and that's fine with me too.
