Fiasco, you had me right along side you until you directed this at Rich. He deserves better respect than that.
Rich, it's not about sensitivity. It's about respect for our roles. I will never claim to have your experience, but I've come to find that ignoring can come across as condoning. If you draw the line, you're more likely to get the desired effect, for you and your partners.
And again, I do not give an official an imperative sentence, period. I very seldom give coaches and players imperative sentences when I'm working ("Coach/#22, I need...."). I expect the same from others. I believe that to be fair.
