I'm a pretty hard person to offend... but when you make fun of "retarded individuals," that's pretty lame.

You know, I wouldn't say that this was a big deal. I just noticed it. And it clicked in my head that it's not supposed to happen. You know what I'd compare it to? Not having an AP arrow at the table for a varsity game.

Is that a big deal? Not really, no. We're keeping track of the arrow, and it's probably on the scoreboard, too. But by rule, there has to be an arrow at the table. It's obvious, and it's pretty easy to fix. So do you ask them to go dig their arrow out of the equipment closet? (Or dig your stuffed parrot out of your gym bag?)

Yes, I do. This was the same sort of thing.

You will never <b>ever</b> get another game at that school. !!! [b]

I didn't edit a quote of yours and promote it as what you intended to say. And I certainly never implied you referee by "complaint".

So what can I say...except backatchya buddy.. :shrug:

I didn't edit a quote to try to take a comment out of context. I edit to avoid making everyone reread parts that don't interest me to talk about. Frankly I wasn't trying to be critical of anyone. In fact I didn't even look to see who wrote it. I think a couple of post stated something about no objections from the opponent then as an official no problem. I just grabbed the 1st post as i was looking back through the post, it must have been yours I guess, because I still havn't looked back to see who wrote it.

Sweety?

Sweeeety???

Oh,my! Juulie, please put away that "Do It Yourself Orchidectomy" book. That may be just a tad drastic. [/B][/QUOTE]

Don't worry, JR. As I said earlier, I'm feeling a little under the weather today. It is nice to understand a little more about RookieDude -- like, that he played at the University of Colorado!

OOOooooooo thats cold. :)

Hey now...wait a minute there Yankee Boy...is this where I should throw in all my WA State tournament bio stuff??? Nah - let's talk about all the rain instead...

Dude, this is not nothing. Do you know what law enforcement's experience is with the 'little stuff'. They used to think you could safely ignore it, concentrate on the big stuff. Turns out that the dark side was taking its cues from the small stuff. Directors of successful YMCA's fix broken windows the same day - before the appearance of 'it's alright, we're down at the heels' sets in.

There's nothing alright about the drumming. The fact that it's routine does not abate that. I'd throw the kid out of the gym. Do the work.

Jeff the Ref says its "not nothing"...fine, "throw the kid out of the gym" if that's your way of officiating.
I'm just giving my point of view...thank you for yours.

Hey rockyroad...what tourney are you doing this year? My email is down, so you'll have to post here if you don't mind.
Also, Z...where will you be this year?
Oh yeah...and Ron from Seattle, you?

Shhhhh...keep it quiet, but I didn't do any HS this season, so I can't go to a State tourny...but don't let anyone else know or they won't let me answer any HS questions on the board here...seriously tho, where are you going? I think Ron Pilo has to sit out a year, but I've been wrong before...

I thought Ron had surgery this last year that kept him out. Or was that a couple years ago? Been away from Seattle too long to remember.

Ok, let me get this thing back on track. Here's the question again: what kinds of technical rule applications are worth acting on?

Is the concensus here that anything off the floor (which includes the benches) is ignored unless specifically brought to our attention?

So the band is really none of my business. Laser pointers, noise makers -- leave it alone, unless somebody notices and then let game management deal with it. Am I warm here?

Again, this is not sarcasm. I'm trying to find my way between knowing what the rule is and running a good game.
