I've had people sit across my desk with life-changing decisions to make before they leave my office. That, my friend, is an exercise in judgment. The decisions I have to make on the basketball court pale in comparison.

I agree with you, but you are acting as if someone is accusing you of violating your Pastoral Ethics. I just wanted to know when we were asking for coaches for their opinions on these issues. I did not think that was a bad question.

The basis of my opinion is only based on what you try to represent in your signature and the way you responded to a non-confrontational question.

Actually I do not care. I just asked a question of you and you responded as if I went after you personally. Then you attacked me in a personal way that was not called for based on the nature of this conversation.

I said coaches do not know the rules like coaches; it has nothing to do with judgment. I do not know what way I am trying to have it. I just found it curious that you put so much stock into what a coach said. I would not go as far as Mark did, but I find it curious why you would be talking to a coach before a game about a game you witnessed. That does reek of some behavior that is not professional, but sometimes I have been in situations when coaches ask about things games I was not apart of. It is hard to avoid those conversations sometimes (host coach might be the AD and shows you to the locker-room). But to come back here to justify that is curious. It is really curious as to why you reacted to a simple question.
