Dip In The Quantity ...

Because one doesn't know what one doesn't know. I can't see a young'un thinking, "Why did Mregor use the phrase "Ahh, the old ...?", and then asking about it. Because I'm old, and watched a lot of television as a kid, I know exactly why he used that phrase.

Just kidding (I hope). But I still think that Mregor, knowing my weaknesses, was trying to set me up.

I noticed a dip in the quantity, but fortunately not the quality, of Forum posts over the past two seasons, well before the COVID "plague". Some high quantity and/or high quality Forum posters seem to have "retired" from the Forum, maybe because they have retired from officiating basketball, or because they have moved up to that great basketball court in the sky.

Also noticed, much to my personal dismay (one college game in forty years), a slight shift more toward college rules and mechanics compared to high school rules and mechanics.

Is this Forum still the best place to get great information about basketball officiating? I haven't looked lately but when I discovered and then later joined this site fifteen years ago that was certainly the case.

Or maybe the Russians, or the Chinese, are manipulating Google searches so that the Forum isn't listed as a top search result when someone, official or non-official, searches a basketball officiating question? Yeah, that's gotta be it.

Even long after I hang up my whistle (let's see how I do wearing both an ankle brace and a knee brace in my middle school games this winter), I still plan to continue my membership on my local board (main reason why I recently volunteered and was selected for a training committee), and to keep posting, and learning, on the Forum.
