I hate working with young, inexperienced officials, who although they have great mechanics and can run the floor, they couldn't call a cab in New York City!
We've got a trap at the division line and suddenly I hear "Tweet!" from the baseline. "Three seconds!"
A dribbler pulls up on the left wing, goes to pick up his dribble, fumbles the ball and then retrieves it. "Tweet!" "Traveling!"
Shooter drives the lane and puts up a shot. "Tweet!" "On the floor, on the floor!"
Gimme a break!
Given the choice of a young offiical who knows three man mechanics down to a T versus an experienced veteran official who's going to make the correct call, I'll take the old fart every ****ing time. Guess what? So will the coaches.
