You don't have to put any stock in what someone else says but if anyone ever disagrees with your point of view then they sure hear about it on these forums.

Perhaps that is why, although I respect your experience and knowledge I really don't put much stock in what you have to say.

You are going to change something you do because some guy came up to you and made a statement in conversation? It is not like this conversation took place at a camp or you the conversation took place with a very experienced coach or official. Billy Packer and Bill Walton have a lot of experience and knowledge in the game too. I do not know if they said something to me I would change my officiating philosophy or try to call the game differently if I had a personal conversation with them.

Peace
