New Wisconsin Rule

[bas2456]

Wondering if officials in Wisconsin have received any directives on these new "sportsmanship" rules.

Please have this foolishness stay in Wisconsin.

Seems like this state is doing as it wishes.
Do you have a problem with that?

Nope, I have no issues with what they are doing, just keep that mess up there. But you probably do not know they border our state. They can do what they want as I do not have a license. See I do not brow beat what other states should do because it is not in the rulebook. BTW, this is not a playing rule, but an administrative action. States have been doing that for years.

Peace

Do you really think that I don't know US geography?
I've driven from Chicago to Madison.

And if you did would that somehow change the situation and not allow them to do this? You are silly.

Yep, it is administrative not a playing rule such as what type of foul gets assessed during a game. Now what was the situation in the other thread?...hmmm

The point of my comment is I hope the IHSA or NF does not think this is a good idea. Maybe if they want to encourage those to not use certain terms, but please do not put this on the officials. I am not you, I do not care what other states do with their rules or officials. I do not have to work there.

Peace

Nope. The tweet/suspension was the first I heard of any of this. This has nothing to do with my role as an official.

I will say this. If the state is saying that this kind of thing by students is not acceptable then maybe the line needs to be redrawn for the adults in the stands and the coaches on the bench, too.

Virginia could institute the same regulations and it wouldn't affect me as an official.

One of terms they want to eliminate is "sieve." I know what the term means, can picture my grandpa yelling "This damn thing is leaking like a sieve!" in response to a crappy radiator they had. But not sure I get this one, I don't know if I'm too old to understand why this is a relevant term to chant, or perhaps too young. Anyone know what they'd be chanting that in response to?

What a joke!!!!! Just another step in the wussification process that is sweeping this country.

Are kids and their parents so soft that when they get called out by a student section their fragile egos are affected for life?

I hope the kids ignore this and keep the chants alive!

This!!!

Now...if they wanted to pass such an rule/guideline to stop girls from yelling "BALL...BALL...BALL...BALL..." all the time around here I am behind them 100%. I often want to say "Yep...a big orange one." to them when they start.

I had a mom stand up in stands last night and yell at the student section. Home mangmt went to student section and had them all move to end of gym nearest their bench , it was the home teams fans. This was a JH boys game. And the kids were just being kids, nothing unsporting etc. I thought it very silly. This mom was probably 40 and she couldn't take it? Very very silly.


I wish I had a cool signature
