Tim,I know that you probably didn't mean it the way that it's written above,but you just did Chuck a very bad dis-service.You're using the wrong guy completely to try and illustrate your point.People that have worked with Chuck have posted that he's extremely quick and nimble-of-foot.A lack of hustle and bad positioning definitely aren't illustrative of Chuck's oficiating ability.You don't get asked to do two-man semi-pro ball,like Chuck,if you can't run and get into position.
The point that you are trying to make might be OK,but your way of illustrating it was completely wrong,IMHO.

I'm sure Chuck is not the person always getting it wrong. But the point is, even I get it wrong by not being in the right position. I still have some quickness in these feet and that sometimes gets me into trouble because I will get straightlined and have no idea what to call. But if DIII officials up there are like DIII down here. They may look good. Have good Mechanics. Work hard. But are inconsistant because they don't get the right position on a fast break and they don't trust their partners have a call.
