Exclamation Still did not tell me how I was wrong.

What have I been wrong on, philosophy? Doing things in one way over another? So I guess I am wrong because I do not agree with everything you do? If I was wrong as much as you claim I am, I would not have the schedule, respect and opportunities that I have. That is the problem with you and many other officials here, you think there is always a right way and a wrong way. You do not see that all of us work in different states, different levels and work for different people. If you look at the NCAA conferences, do all of them do the same things or share the same philosophy, HELL NO!!!!!! Does the Big 10 do things different than the Pac 10 or SEC or ACC or any even the Big East? I will let you answer that yourself.

I live in Illinois, and here to get anywhere you have to do several things that I do or you do not advance, it is that simple. If that does not work in West Virginia or Texas, that is not my problem. At least I have some sense to know that. I was told long time ago when I started officiating, "take what works for you from others, and throw out what does not." I think you need to take this advice my friend!!!

We do, all of the time. But you always refuse to listen, refuse to admit you're wrong or hide beheind some question like "What the hell does that have to do with it?" or "Do you understand officiating?".

You could learn so much if you would allow your fellow officials to correct you when your wrong.
