3) Pile on me all you want. I come here to learn, but I'm also not going to back down from what I think is right and what I have learned. My philosophy has worked for me so far and it seems to be right in line w/ others who I pattern my game after.

Not everything is black and white. I'm not going to get into this debate right now, but end of game situations are a glaring example of it.

mu4scott:

You say that you are coming here to learn and then refuse to learn. If the contact is legal, no matter how bad it looks, it is NOT a foul. Calling it a foul when it is NOT a foul is NOT good game management; it is incorrect officiating. Rut and I are not piling on you; but we are telling you the correct way to do things.
