I was not taking it that way. Just stating what I do and what I have been doing for a long time. What others do is up to them.

But we even have these differences within the same state, and sometimes within the same areas. This is exactly why Rich mentioned the complaints about how a state tournament game was called - the officials called it one way because that's the way they were used to calling it, while the team that participated was used to a different philosophy.

I do not think you will ever get all officials to agree on anything. We all do not work the same kind of ball or the same type of athletes and certainly not at the high school level for sure. I think we should do what we feel is best and let those decide what works and if they like us they will hire us for bigger games. Not sure we can ever get everyone to call something a certain way when we are all not equally talented or have the same officiating backgrounds. It sounds great, but I still say it is impossible when there are thousands of officials that work games across a state or a region of the country.

Didn't we beat you this year?
