Might be a true statement, but this isn't for you to decide. Officials receive postseason assignments for all sorts of reasons. That is for those who are responsible for the assignment making or the design of the selection process. If those people don't like the decisions which certain officials make, then it is up to them to change who they select or the process itself. It is not the job of any one official working the contest to go over-rule the decisions of other officials on the court. Unfortunately, that seems to be the path that you have followed.
You can't officiate the whole court. There is a reason that basketball games are not assigned with only one official.
What about plays that are unseen by you during the contest? You need to learn to let others make decisions even if you don't like them. You don't get to make every call. That's just the way it is. |
Ummm okay, so you dont run the ballgames that are given you? Providing info is FAR from over-ruling, get a grip!
You should still be on a high from your C'Ship! Congrats again btw.

That word is "arrogant". (And at least around here, another phrase that fits is "short career".)

i'm gonna try this once more.

Up close yes, in position with backs and butts, NO!
Pretty thin line between arrogance & confidence... yes, I flirt with the line. But what else would you expect from a flirt?
Thanks for your input all, but I'm done with this, I gotta game to prepare for
