When you behave like this, how can you question the way you are treated by coaches, players and fans. I was not looking for any trouble just giving my opinion and I have been verbally attacked from the beginning. Would someone please respectfully tell me what I did that was so insluting to this board? I'm sure there are some respectful officials out there. I do not mean to group all of you into the same group as Dan and Basketball Offical.

The way you are going about this is really silly. You have made an issue out of something you do not understand and will never understand. Because what Dan might have said to this player was in many of our eyes as rather funny. There are many out there that have fun when we are officiating. We can be sarcastic at times, we can be firm at times, and we can be just plain funny. Considering all the times we get insulted, our integrity questioned and personal comment thrown at us for how much hair we do not have on our heads, to how much we might weigh. And Dan makes a comment and does not curse the kid or call him names and you want him to apologize?

I do not always see eye to eye with Dan on many things, but if this is what you get upset over, I wonder what really makes you mad. Because Dan does not live around your or officiate your games. So really, get over it. If you did not like it, chalk it up as experience and move on. You have not earned the right to run your mouth towards anyone here. Especially the fact that you have not put in the time and effort in this board that many have. Tony is right one there. There are certain things that you cannot say and we will all just agree with you. Dan is one of the top posters here, and has been here for as long as I can remember. And that was much longer than the membership indicates. Just move on and find something else to get upset over, PLEASE!!!!

Peace
