Giving the stop sign (when two adults are involved) is absurd. We wouldn't want it and why should we treat another adult like a child.
Just think that too many of us think because we put on the stripes, it gives us
unlimited authority whenever we choose.......

When did taking a non-threatening posture when dealing with players or coaches become a freaking NBA philosophy? Officials at all levels have been using various forms of that philosophy...folded arms, etc when listening or answering a question....for many, many years....before Scott Foster was born.
And btw, our "unlimited authority" is usually limited by the people we report to. They won't put up with any loose cannons going off. And conversely I also think that far too many of us are afraid to use that supposedly "unlimited authority" to keep their games under control. They're looking for any reason
not to call a technical foul. And by far the most used reason by them is the good ol' "it's good game management" excuse.
