When you get to that level out on that court/field, then you can talk.

I have to say Brad, that's a somewhat closed minded attitude. I think there's a difference in sitting in the stands and criticizing the offiicals on the floor, versus discussing situations on this board that may arise during a nationally televised game. While I agree that no good can come from tearing these guys apart, we can learn from discussing their mistakes. I can tell you that this is one official that learned a lesson from our discussion on the blarge that two D1 officials called in a NCAA Regional Championship game between Iowa State and Michigan State, that resulted in one player fouling and and a head coach being ejected.
Personally, I would love to sit down with some of these guys and ask why so much traveling is allowed in the low post. It's getting as bad as the NBA. It's not difficult to see or call. So why do they refuse to call it? Am I not allowed to have that opinion, simply because I'll never "get to that level?
JMHO.
