If anyone disagrees with you, you will go out of your way to find a contrary opinion. Half the time you won't even read what is there.
Rich could have said the sky is blue and you'd have said it isn't.
I'm surprised we did not get another I've been doing this for this long in this many sports resume post...oh wait, we did.

I disagreed with Rich on the basis of what I thought he said, not as a personal issue. This is something I do know how to separate. I do not know Rich or you and I have never worked with either of you. Unlike you, I do not take things personally on this site. They are just discussions with people that are mostly nameless and faceless. I have had interactions with Rich outside of this forum only through email and passing along information because he lives just north of my state and we work for the same person in both football and basketball in one conference.
If I had called you naive you would have considered my comments as arrogant and out of line. I am a 10 year official. If you do something different than I do, then join the crowd. I can ask 10 different officials the same thing with different backgrounds and you might get 10 different answers or justifications for their answers. Lighten up (whatever your name is). This site is not about everyone agreeing with each other all the time or understanding where everyone is coming from. When I walk on the court I do not carry the same baggage that you carry and you do not carry the same baggage I do. I am sure we do not look the same (we are judged by our appearance) and are not perceived the same by the coaches we all deal with. For GodÂ’s sake we do not even work under the same kind of system and get assigned the same way (at least from what I remember you saying). I am sorry that you want constant agreement, but that is never going to happen with me or other people with people literally all over the world coming to this site. For one I am surprised that more people here did not take serious issue with what Tommy said in his original post after all the things I have read here from officials about giving out Ts on this site and the things I hear other officials that I actually get to meet and talk to face to face.
Relax man, it will be OK.
Peace
