Jeff,I have not been on this forum that long,so I'm not being a hypoctrite.

Blindzebra,

I am not talking about you personally. I am talking about the overall reaction to what JR did. I have been on this board for over 6 years. So what I speak, you might not be aware of.

There is a huge difference between picking your spot and talking to a fan and talking to one,then intentionally calling 2 fouls "instantly" on their kid,then "slyly pointing" at the fan just to "stick it to him" by "abusing
your whistle!"

BZ,

This is not the end of the world. This is not the worst thing in the world as well. I do not advocate what was done, but I also do not look at it as a tragedy or something to get overly excited about. If the fan did not want anyone to "stick something to him," then act like an adult and do not be stupid enough to let it be known that who your kid is. And I did not read that he just called phantom fouls on the kid either. He might have not given him the "benefit of the doubt," that many of us give a kid under normal circumstances. I know at least for me, when a kid is a problem, by his own actions and complains alot, I know I will not bend over backwards to not call fouls on him. I might call fouls that I might have passed on, because that is a better way to "send a message" than just T'ing the kid up. But usually I never have to do that, because I have no problem of stoping a game and addressing any situation that is a problem in my games during dead ball periods. And usually the FT Administration is a great way to do that. But that is me. I did not read that JR, made up anything. He just said that he called 2 fouls on his kid. Which could have been very warranted and might be why the kid is a knucklehead, just like his father.

Peace
