People call me names, if you don't like it, don't dish it out and you might not get it back in return.

You also admit you do not know, and do not follow the rules.

You got something against being honest. I think the world needs more people who are willing to speak honestly.

That makes you disservice to all the newer officials and coaches that look at this site for advice.

I am a disservice because i challenge your way of thinking. Because i try to do what's right. I might be wrong but my heart was in the right place. Plus, I have worked under other rulesets which do allow it. I tried to do what I thought was fair, you, believe it or not, is argueing for what is unfair! And I am a disservice. I am the only one that's willing to stand up and speak the truth. It's a dumb rule and needs to change.

That is also, above all else, unfair to the players. And the players are the most important aspect. It is totally unfair to them if you call the game using rules and philosophies that are different than the rules used by the other officials, because then the players do not know what to expect.

Let's not overdo it. Unfair to the players! It's unfair if i know it's .9 seconds left and i can't correct it because of a stupid rule which goes against logic. The players may just think that I'm cheating if i know there's time left and i don't change it. Above all else, unfair to the players! You are really over the top on this one.

I kick a rule, I admit it. Now i want you to keep this in mind, I didn't kick the rule based on cheating or point difference (there was a reference made to Tim Donaghy). I kicked the rule based on what I thought was fair play.

Up until now I have shown restraint and a great deal of patience, but now I too am joining the ranks in calling for your account to be pulled. You do not offer any value to most discussions, you have been shown to be wrong in a majority of your statements, you resort to name-calling when you have been shown to be wrong, and you show very little in real communication skills. If your intent is to learn from this site, it would be better for you to sit back and just listen. If your intent is to show off your vast officiating skills, you have missed by a wide margin. If your intent is to become a joke, you have succeeded by a wide margin.

It's only a joke to those who think it's funny. You may think that I offer no value to the discussion, but others (who don't speak as much) may disagree. Part of the problem with the NFHS rules is that there appears to be no discussion, open about there rule changes. Probably because they kick everybody out who disagrees with them. That's exactly how we end up with rules that are old and outdated, quite frankly dumb, and rule changes that makes no sense. AP arrow doesn't change after a kick ball violation. We really needed that one changed.
