Just wait til that father finds you and feeds you that whistle you abuse. Love to be there and see that. I personally believe we are getting paid to do a job and be professional about it. We are not in grade school any more. Grow up! Can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.

Given that the advice on this forum is contrary to your act, one would wonder how you would react to a suggestion on the floor from a partner.

Get in. Get done. Get out.

Stick it to the fan? Why would you even care he existed?

What did the PLAYER do, besides being the FAN'S KID?

Your followup post was worse than your original.

Steve -- I agree completely that jr is completely out of line with his attitude. I don't think abetting retaliation -- especially physical abuse -- is very professional, either. I hope you are not serious about YOUR attitude, but thought you were making a joke, however un-funny.

Why do you officiate?

You do realize that the game is NOT about you,don't you?

If you are doing a youth or school game,you are there to set an example.You are there to see that both teams and ALL
players have a fair and equal chance to compete.You are there to insure that players are safe.You are there to teach the rules and encourage sportsmanship.

You are not there to stick it to a player or a fan.

Steve,

Please use Icons when posting. Some of the guys/gals here have sensitive ego's and feelings, and you do not want to upset them.

This is just a tid-bit of info for you, since you may not know alot of the people here. You will understand more about who the above mentioned one's are once you read and reply to more posts.

This is a good place to learn, and you will figure out which one's to ingnore.

Basketball is a wonderful game.

One of the entitlements of fans is something very unique to the game - referee critiquing.

Our role in this matter is to officiate the game – but let it, players, interested parties, coach’s, fans and opponents participate.

Participation means critiquing. Like it or not.

Once did a jr. high game during x-mas break,the dad of a player continued to yell out "that was a bad call ref". After hearing this for three quarters and during an out of bounds dead ball I raised my hand to announce an officials time out. I then turned to the dad (who reminded me, at this point in his life) that how much of an a$$ one can be, so I asked him now that he has the entire gyms attention and my entire attention why the last call was a "bad call" and to explain it to his wife ,his son, myself, and the fans. His wife punched him in the arm and he NEVER SAID ANOTHER WORD!!
