Basketball Ref/Dan

I thank you for your feedback of my post to Dan. I'm not sure what you do for a living and honestly it is none of my business, but I myself am a History Teacher. Maybe it is just me but I do not find the humor in making a comment like that to an adolescent. These are the same adolescents that you expect to respect you but then you go and make a senseless/tasteless "joke" like that. I have no idea where in the rulebook it is talked about insulting the players or how you can justify it was ok that Dan insulted a player. I believe that the next time Dan officiates at that school that he owes that player and apology. There is no need in the game of basketball for an adult putting down an athlete.

Exactly what don't you understand when I asked you to put your comments IN THE SAME THREAD as the original post?

Your comment about the rulebook is asinine. Where in the rulebook does it say that you are allowed to express any opinion of any decision an official makes on the court? So then i take it you NEVER question a call an official makes since doing so is not in the rulebook.

This, BTW, is a rhetorical question. If you need a definition of the word rhetorical, please consult dictionary.com.

Now, where's the "Close Thread" button? Oh yes....
