Sugar Coating

[footlocker]

Hey Zebra,

If I remember correctly. There was a T given on a coach. A time out was asked for. Before even reporting the T to the table, he hits the whistle and signals the time out. Walks to his partner to discuss the T, reports the T while his partner is getting the away team out of the huddle to shoot the Technical shots.

If memory serves me, this is out of order. The Technical free throws should have been shot before the time out is granted. (much less reporting out of order)

Now, like I said- I'm not going to explain every game scenario I did not like. I don't even remember them all. (I already stated this was mid-season.) I was reading another thread where someone asked about moving up. It occured to me that some people never get the honest feedback needed because either they are hard to bring it to or others are more interested in sugar coating to maintain relationships. So, instead of trying to argue some minute point (because you're right- I did word it incorrectly) except the foundation for what it is.

I am saying that I always appreciate someone helping me get better. Telling me I did great, no problems is crap. Telling me some rhetoric and giving generic feedback does me no good. There are good officials that can watch a game and identify sincere shortcomings. I want that feedback. Then I get better.

'nuff said.
