From Old School: "Is how come you get to continue to post sh!t about others and it is never question(ed)."

Old School: For your information, I have questioned Jurassic Referee many times, especially in regard to advantage/disadvantage involving both fouls and violations. In some cases one of us was able to convince the other one to come over to their side, in other cases, we were able to reach a compromise, and in other cases we have agreed to disagree. For the most part, we have been able to stay away from name calling, because we try to act in a professional manner.

The reason why Jurassic Referee is seldom questioned is because he knows and understands the rules, period. He also knows and understands the case book, and handbook. When questioned in a professional manner, he is more than willing to patiently back up his side with appropriate rule book or case book citations.

I cringe every time Jurassic Referee gets involved with name calling, he does seem to have a short fuse, but in many cases it's two-sided. I can't stand the name calling and personal attacks on this Forum. I wish the moderaters would be a little less tolerant of such threads and posts. I often think about removing the Forum from my favorites list, but I can't find a better basketball officiating website, with such outstanding and knowledgeable officials, anywhere on the internet.
