[/B][/QUOTE]Well, Tom, I had a very earnest and experienced clinician/friend explain "ref the match-up" to me last summer. He got a l'il pissed at me too when I broke out laughing. I then asked him to explain just exactly where that concept differs fom the correctly-taught version of the ol' "ref-the-defense" philosophy. After he thought about it, he finally admitted that there really wasn't that much difference at all.

It's called "re-inventing the wheel".

Of course, that just my opinion. Take it fwiw.
