Not exactly. I think the general consensus is the ones who do get selected are deserving. There's a difference.
A corrolary to that consensus is that, for the most part, the guys who whine the most are generally not as qualified. 17 years of experience doesn't, by itself, make an official qualified for a playoff assignment. I've seen plenty of times when a 3rd year ref is better than his 15th year partner.

I'd like to think I'd catch it; I've never had an U do that in a 3 man game. I've never seen it. Again, it doesn't mean they don't know 3 man mechanics. At least it doesn't mean that by itself. People make mistakes and sometimes get minor things confused.

No, it just means U1 wasn't the only one who didn't catch his mistake. You're making assumptions and accusations you don't have enough information to make.

Again with the unfounded accusations. You have no idea, based on the information you've presented here, that these guys hadn't been to a camp.

Not that you care, but I don't believe it and I don't think anyone else here does either.

That's not how it played out. You gave him a backhanded compliment, backed it up, and pissed the guy off. You're the one who provoked his response. His playoff assignment had nothing to do with telling you to take a hike. It was your abrasive response that did it.

A bit of advice from someone you don't like; find a new wise man. This guy's ripping you off.
