Such a distribution clearly requires funding, which perhaps the good coach doesn't have access to, so he acquires what he needs to be able to distribute his idea from those who show an interest in his idea.

And when pressed about it he lied about that fact and claimed he was only doing what he was doing for the good of the game. I have ideas, but I am not trying to sell them. And if I was asked if I was trying to profit on them, I would clearly state that reality if I expected people to not further question my motives. Also, I would not go places that are not receptive to my point of view and continually come back to those places if I know people are not "buying" what I am selling.

And whether we know or not is never the issue. This is why this is called a discussion board and people discuss things. We tend to discuss the motives or coaches, players, committee members, fellow officials, fans or administrators all the time here. And we do so based on our experiences and circumstances that took place in a particular thread or story. If that is a problem for you, then you better be preaching all the time because this issue only scratches the surface as to how things are often discussed here or in our local association meetings.

Is that your idea of acceptable behavior?

Honestly, no one assumed anything. We asked a question and found the answer. And all you have to do is a Google search and you will find Kurt's name is associated with all kinds of things are about selling products or the self promotion of this offense. And you do not have to look at this website to find that information. There is nothing wrong with selling things or this offense, but it is not gossip when you find the information on a link. Just like if you were to do the same thing with my name, you would easily find specific information that shows things about me as it relates to officiating and you would be able to see things I am directly involved in. And if I were to claim I was associated with something I was not, it would be exposed easily. And there are many people here that know me personally or belong to the same associations I belong to. I am confronted all the time by people that I know that I post here or ask me am I the same person they see on this site. I am very cognizant that when I say things here, there are people that are watching. If I were to say something that was blatantly false, I would be called on it in so many ways.
Now I can accept that reality and relish in that reality (I have been on here for over 10 years BTW). Why is that something you cannot handle? And BTW, I have had many people over the years try to discredit things I have said, only to find out that I was telling the truth by searching the internet or talking to someone that knows me personally. If you do not want to have people question your integrity, do not come here with your real name and do not say where you live and who you know. It is that simple.
I am done now.
Peace
