Billy, please look up 'bawling' in your Funk & Wagnalls.

That's funny, I thought they were still using the ol' hornbook primer up there in Connecticut.

I like the part when Ball curses ("I don't play that s---.") but yet a few sentences later, the article references when he said "You gotta use cuss words when you don't have no intellect."

Hypocritical and uses a double negative when discussing intellect...classic!

Good riddance.

1. That looks like a holding foul to me.
2. I will henceforth refer to him as Big Cry Baby.
3. Who is cheating?
4. The irony of the article's final quote is truly wonderful given the incorrect grammar used by the one making the critical statement.
5. The Lakers don't believe that this clown is going to be a problem?
It's a foul. It also opened up to the center. I would've whacked him quicker.

Shit, if I knew whacking him was going to get them to quit, I would've done it sooner.

Probably not the politically correct thing to say, but I'd love to have this a*shole in a real high school game. He wouldn't make it longer than five minutes on my court.

I agree. But the real ones to blame are the spineless organizers. Big problem with society is lack of spines. This sets an awful precedent. I have refused to work specific tournaments because of who is organizing or assigning, and I have left mid game when tourney organizers do shit ass stupid things like this. Officials, as a whole, preach to do the right thing and take care of business, except often times when it comes to how they handle their own "business".

Agreed 100%. And the few that do the right thing by sticking up for themselves and/or their partners are accused (often by other officials) of "making it about themselves" or not "doing it for the kids" or some other ridiculous holier-than-thou accusation. Officials like that that are willing to sell their souls to greedy organizers for a trivial amount of pocket change make it hard on those of us that actually have spines.

I said on a FB site that if this was my game, I would have walked off. The fact that it is a camp might have changed my mind a little because you are kind of at the mercy of the camp at that point. I would only walked off for sure if I was being paid to work the games and nothing else. The fact this is a camp changes that fact. But then he would not have had many chances to be disrespectful at all and he would be gone. After all that is what they tell us to do right? Do not let the first T'ing official call the second one. And I would have been embolden if I knew she was a D1 official on top of that, because she is at least at top level with that kind of pressure.

The bottom line, these AAU tournaments are a joke and this is why.

Peace

Officiating group terminating relationship with Adidas over replacement of female referee

Good for Court Club, but there will be plenty of takers willing to take their place and sell their souls to Adidas.
