It is unfortunate that people attempt to judge one based on number of posts and comments made. I was merely attempting to say I have seen many jabs at individuals about their comments that are personal attacks rather than OPINION. Opinion is great, it stimulates growth and thoughts. Personal attacks because one works rec ball or one works in a higher league and shouldn't work high school and use college philosophies should be unacceptable.

My comments were based on the personal attacks on others on the board that I have read. I haven't posted because I have chosen to read and not say anything. However, no where in my post did I ever personally criticize an opinion of another's post on a particular rule or play. I did, however; attempt to point out personal attacks on individuals on the board. Unfortunately, based on the lastest posts, some have missed the point entirely. Oh well. The power of the English language is strong and unfortunately some don't know how to use it.

I did comment that common sense on this particular rebounding play would tell me to call a foul. If A is standing out of bounds and the ball hits A, it is out on A, I understand, that is a rule!! I was merely talking about common sense on the particular rebound play that was posted by CREW!!! This is philosophy and not a rule situation!!!

All levels need officials. My comment to that was not to criticize a young college official that works both college and high school, even if he does apply NBA and/or NCAA philosophies (not rules) to that high school game. We need good officials no matter what level!!! Please do not misconstrue that rec ball officials are no good and higher level officials are!!! We need good rec ball officials and all the way on up to the highest league in the land.

I'm done with this now. Have a good day.
