tref, I'm not bashing you. I'm just being straight like I would expect from anybody to be with me. Honestly I would hate for you to one day hit a road block or regress, not because you weren't talented enough, but because you rubbed somebody the wrong one way. And often that person is not the one making the decision, but someone the decision-maker trusts and includes in his inner circle. There is a guy here who is reminds me a lot of you. Very talented, on the "radar", has been to D-League camp. Gets plays right and is fun to be around when the fellas are bullsh!tting. But man, he lets that "I wanna be a pro official" attitude seep out a lot, and it's noticeable, both on the court and when we are talking basketball in the locker room. You never know who the guy next to you knows.
My bucket list doesn't include the NBA or D-League or the D1 Final Four, but I do have a "list" of 8 things (5 of which I can cross off), and I know on a few occasions I've rub some folks the wrong way and I have been fortunate that I have had people close to me who have pulled me aside to let me know.
