Does it boost your ego to categorize everyone who has a different perspective into convenient categories like "driveway warriors" or "fanboys"?
It actually hurts my feelings. I love the game of basketball and consider myself moderately knowledgeable in its basic rules and more than proficient at playing it.
I don't even have any idea what a fanboy is in this context..I certainly don't look up to you or referees in any way, nor did I come here to criticize referees about my favorite team's latest loss.
It was a new and interesting perspective on the game of basketball. Unfortunately, my experience here with referees turned out much like the stereotypes for referees: Very sensitive to their turf, stubborn, confident, and perhaps worst of all, some tended to make things personal.
This is your sandbox, being a basketball
officiating forum, and while I will continue to lurk (because its fascinating material), consider this, nearly my first thread, to be the last thread to post in.*
*I will, however, continue to defend myself, if you continue to hurl barbs at me --although I probably won't respect myself in the morning for it.
