How do you emphasize a rule that doesn't exist?

This post comes off as you being critical of Bryan. You are questioning him on telling the coach something. He said he is not talking to the coach. He is/was the first one in the thread to say, in response to a comment, that he wont talk to the coach. Read back a few posts and you will see that..

I didn't say you brought up the "huge discussion" thing. I was pointing out how my original post was being twisted.

Anyway... I agree. And looking at my replies I think that's apparent.

Actually I was not criticism him about anything. I just stated we do not need to have much discussion with a coach after we make a call and quoted his comments to make that point. If that is a criticism of him personally, then either he is going to have to get thicker skin or get over it. I was making a comment that I felt was relevant to my position about this topic. I do not know Bryan personally enough to know his overall position or to know how strong he feels about this topic.

Oh and I read the situation the first time, it sounds like some people need to not take every comment so personally. People disagree with me here often about things, it is not that big of a deal when they do.

Is this on "Ohio thing?"

I did not suggest you said I said anything. I was just commenting on the thread and using words that were used previously.

Ah. Responding to me made it seem like you were accusing me.

No, as of right now, call the violation, if there is contact call the foul. This may change, but for now this is it.

Talking to coaches when it's not necessary.

That is an accusation? Or is that just a statement of what I feel you (not you personally BTW) should not do?

OK... Accusation is a strong word. Yes, just saying I shouldn't talk to them.

Again it was a philosophy related to this and other things we call, I do not recall that it was just about you. There are a lot of officials that feel they have to justify or explain to coaches what they call and if a coach is not on board with the call that explanation is something required. I just do not go along with that position. Now if that is not your position, then not sure why you would care what I had to say if that is not your position.

You sound a little sensitive on this honestly. This was really not about you but the thought process that has been suggested hear by many for years.

I thought it was about me because you quoted me.

For the record, I don't like talking to coaches, so I only do it if I have to.

Quoting someone does not mean the comments or responses are just about you. Your comments were about the topic. Again, you really need to not be so sensitive. And did I misquote you? These were your words. If you did not want anyone to say anything about them, then why did you say them?

Peace

I didn't know my post was going to cause all of this. I wasn't saying I explain every call to a coach, and on this topic what I was really meaning to say was if the coach asked me about it, then I would talk to him/her. I'm not explaining to just be doing it.

I've been going to message boards for as long as the internet was a thing. You only quote somebody if you are referring to them. Otherwise, find the person you want to refer to and quote them, or there's a button for a general reply below.

I'm not sensitive, I'm confused as to why you replied to me when you were apparently talking about someone else.

Misquote? No. I didn't say I was talking to coaches. I said what I WOULDN'T say to a coach and it was twisted.

With that said, I appreciate your advice on this board. Thank you.
