Honestly, I do not care where these other people live. The person asking the question was asking what to do and why, not asking about a specific body or organization.

He did not ask about the NF. This is not a NF Forum. Maybe that is the reason why people talk NCAA, FIBA, wreak leagues, camps, philosophies and any other things about officiating they want to on this forum. People talk officiating here, not just the mechanics of one body. IF that was the case why are you asking questions about NCAA Mechanics which you obviously are not aware of?

If you want to talk about what happens in one certain state do that in a single thread, and leave the rest of the board to those of us in the other 49 states plus DC.

I do not recall that everyone knows what my state does and I personally do not care if they know. I was answering a question to a specific person and if you found information that was interesting, that is on you. If you recall I did not quote anyone in my first response.

Perhaps you just can't read.

If you only want to talk about the NF and what the NF does, go to the NF site and talk there. If you have not noticed, many officials do not even go to that site probably because the focus is so narrow. And even there people discuss things they do all the time in their locations. If that is a problem, then you are going to have to continue to deal with this type of conversation from me, because I have been doing this from day one and will continue to do so. I do not care what other states do when an official from my state is asking a mechanics question. One of these days either you or the moderators will understand that ideal and take appropriate action. Until that time I will continue the positions I take on this and other similar topics.

Peace
