It seems to me that your being hypocritical by saying that you would T a coach for that. He smiled so that makes it a joke right Mark?

I addressed this in my post above.

I want BBallCoach to look them up. Get it?

Mark, this is a new low....

I always knew there was a conspiracy by you referees against us coaches! Why the nerve of you guys, giving us coaches rule books that only go up to 10! Trying to keep the upper hand, huh??? Now I'm really mad...

Of course I get it. I was just trying to play along. Sigh. Where's my humor plug-in?

No - I'm pretty sure we've gone through this sort of thing before.

Mark,

Isn't this being a bit hypocritical? If the coach is smiling shouldn't the official know that means he is joking and take it as such? You except the coach to know the official is only joking correct. So why the double standard?

First off, Padgett you crack me up...second, to BBallCoach - yes, the coach gets T'd. Is that hypocritical and a double standard - yep. Tough noogies...see, we refs are the ones with the TOTAL power and TOTAL control of the game, and - basically - we can do whatever we want!!! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha (that's my evil Dr. Frankenstein laugh there)

No, I go to a clinic with two doctors. That's the Portland's Professor Paradox.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), neither one can keep up with prescribing my meds.

The coach definitely gets a "T" for those comments.

It's amazing that you want to be respected and treated fairly but on the same hand you make what you assume is a joke to a coach and if they dont take it like that or give it back to you, you T him? That is a great role model for our society bait the coach into a T. You guy's are so classy. Dam! I don't get why most people disrespect offcials.

Way to go coach! Just please don't categorize all officials this way.

BBallCoach,
Have you looked up the rule he referenced? It's pretty clear when you read the rule book why this rule needs to be enforced in this case. We don't like to do it, but we are bound by the rules and rule 11.2.4 is very clear (one could easily call it's meaning transparent) on this issue. Please, get a rule book and look this up. As Padgett says, rule 13.3.2 leaves us absolutely no wiggle room on this.

[Adam]

Is it because he won't look up the rule?
