I hope I don't sound thin-skinned, but this kind of post is what set me off once before with Eli (eroe). I'm sure that the intent is not to "big time" anybody, but it sounds like you're saying, "Come on guys, stop being such babies. It's time to grow up and start thinking like college officials". It just rubs me wrong.
Who cares if tony is talking about high school or college? TH's point, and I think he's right, is that if the ACC commissioner told his officials to T Coach K every time he loudly dropped an F-bomb, he would stop doing it. That's all.
We all understand that for whatever reason, it's accepted for the big time guys to curse, even at the officials. We see it all the time and it's let go. We understand that. The point is merely that if they made it clear that it wouldn't be tolerated, it would go away -- or the coaches would be sitting in the locker rooms. Can anybody disagree with that? And more than that, wouldn't that be a good thing?

Not Big Timing anybody ChuckElias. I have worked highschool and college for the past several years. I have cut my highschool schedule down due to my limited availability and the good fortune of getting a nice college schedule the past 2 season. That could all change, we know how officiating is.
I was merely stating the point that we don't allow this behavior for sure at the high school level. It is tolerated a bit more at the college level. And yes, I agree, if the NCAA and Commissioners told us to penalize this conduct more severely than we would. Thats what we do, follow directions and assess penalties and violations.
Just to add to the big time comment, I also happen to be very involved in my local high school association helping others and training. I feel compelled to give back to the game due to so many other people that came before me that has helped myself and others reach/attain a small amount of success. I also help out in summer beginner officiating camps and help teach officials the basics of high school officiating, mechanics, and how to objectively watch themselves on tape.
PLEASE DON'T ACCUSE ME OF THIS!!! I was just stating the point that it is tolerated a bit more at the NCAA level. BOTTOM LINE.
With all the time I put into this avocation of mine, as you could all see from my post I was a bit aggravated at ChuckElias' comments about me.
Have a good day. And, I will enjoy my day off from the bball court and watch the NFL playoffs.
