I kinda like it, but it's still December.

Anywho, the reasoning is it will promote "constructive dialogue". I recently had to ask a coach if he felt the discussion we are having is actually "constructive" or even a "dialogue". He mumbled something and walked away... :shrug:

I like going table side in college. When you are going to report you are already on the way and it allows the coach to ask you a question. Going to the other side, if they had a question and were not able to ask you for a few minutes he/she could get even more steamed and later blow up. It could have sometimes been easily avoided if you were able to talk w/them right away.

Dan,

your son has my deepest respect!

I was looking to add a little humor to someones day.

Those who choose to serve our country find little to laugh about at these trying times we are in. So I choose to find as much humer in anything as i can for everything has a bright spot if you look hard enough.

Hey TPS, humor accepted and respect accepted (on his behalf of course), and believe me there is still plenty left for us all to laugh at these days!

It was actually called at my game last night. I had to do the books for the varsity girls game, as our regular score keeper had surgery. Therefore, we had to get one of the girls from the girls' team to do the books for the boys - it was a choppy transition. I just think a technical foul for something as petty as that could possibly just ruin a whole game. We didn't mind, but heck, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." It's trivial.

BTW, to everyone else,

There's nothing wrong with being republican.

Actually I disagree. Here's why. In the old three man, if the calling official were lead (in front court) official would go near table side to report and then have to go all the way across the court to either take up the C position or administer FT's. With her going table side (Trail in FT shooting situations) the other two have things better in hand and dont have to wait for her to get across. The old way never made sense added too many steps. The NBA has done it this way for years. If we are afraid of the coaches because it puts us in front of them, we should not be on the floor. Put the ball in play faster should be the motto and this does.

Calling official-table side. As the old saying goes, don't knock it until you try it. I've been doing it for 2 or is it 3 years(?). Well since the women's changed it. I have know doubt it is better. Coaches are not yelling accross the court. In fact, the coach very seldom even ask about the call you made.
