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

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.

Peace

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'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.

And I quote a lot of people in the context in the bigger conversation too. I do not always quote people just to challenge or highlight their statements alone. Now if you only quote people to only speak to them, I guess. I do not always do that neither does everyone else. I have been quoted many times to highlight other people's comments, my comments just happened to be the last one about the topic they read.

I really do not see why your panties are in a bunch about this. You said that is not what you meant or your position. I am not disputing what you said or even disputing your position. I take you at your word. I am not arguing that you said something and I "gotcha" with the quote. You do not even have to prove your position to me either. My advice or comments are not that deep. I was giving an opinion on a position previously stated, your comments happened to be about those comments and stated my position. It is not like your reputation is going to be ruined because I commented or took a position with you being quoted. The only way I can see your response to all of this is being sensitive. Sorry, but that is my take because I have said this many times before that this incessant need to talk to coaches about calls and I am suggesting this is over the top from my point of view. If that is not what you meant or feel, than consider yourself absolved from my comments. And if that is what you are saying, you have the right to disagree with my position. It is not as big of a deal as you are making it. No one is accusing you of anything. I am not in a position to accuse you of anything.

Sounds like a dispute between B1G 10 fans.

Let's see OKREF says he would talk to coaches after the violation. Bryan says he would not. You quote Bryan and use the word YOU: these are YOUR words

"Why do YOU need to tell the coach anything? Do YOU tell them something everything you call a violation they do not like?

Peace"

Sounds to me and likely many others that you are asking and implying that Bryan talks to the coaches. Bryan points out that he doesn't do that. You call him sensitive. if your reply was to OKREF there'd be no issue.

Bryan has tried to let it go a few times. You keep replying… and digging your hole deeper.

I keep replying because I can. No one is going to do anything to me either way. So not sure what hole I am digging? Even if I felt he said what he claims he has not said, what is going to happen? Nothing.

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.

Actually, on this subject it would irritate me if a coach asked about it. They are teaching their players to do this, so I don't want them playing dumb when I blow my whistle.
