It doesn't help that Ace is all of 5'6"!!!

At 6'5" I have never had a coach tell me that he was going to f me up!

<small>I did have one say that he was going to wait in the parking lot and kick my a$$ though (didn't happen of course)!</small>

Brad, I'm 6'3" but I've gotta tell you we had a guy on our team in college that was only 5'6" and was nicknamed "Rock". He was a golden gloves champ in HS and he could F both of us up pretty good! Of course, he was not an Ace so I don't know. :)

Coach - let me be the first to say farewell.

Somewhat shockingly, I've never been threatened at rec sports games - if I ever were, the player would be ejected, and campus police would be getting a nice little call.

Right on. The police should be involved with a threat like this.

5'8 Brad... if your going to tell people how SHORT I am atleast get it right. And no one ever gives me any crap about being short either. They're are plenty of short referees in the NBA and college. I do get alot of funny looks becasue I look so young..oh wait... I am! LOL. Brad - send me an off board email. I got to work with Burkhalter this weekend and I got some promising news for this season.

1)Because you're the one that's truncated(saw that word in another thread and thought I'd adopt it as Today's Word).
2) Because Ace doesn't bug us about the Yankees like you and Rocky the Flying Squirrel-nee Seattle Fanboy does.
3) Ace is also young, while you and Rocky are- well- middle-aged and progressing rapidly to the over-the-hill stage.
4) We like Ace.

Ace, what tournament are you talking about? One of my friends went to Houston last weekend for a tournament and I was wondering if it is the same one. He flew in from Vegas and it was supposed to be a nice tournament.

BBall_Junkie Wed Apr 28, 2004 07:59am

ACE is talking about the Kingwood classic and I am sure that the official who came from Vegas worked that tourney. The tournament used over 40 facilities and 1000 games plus or minus were played starting Fri evening and ending Sun afternoon. Information about the Tourney is on the web at visionsports.com.

The person who assigns the officials for the Tourney works Tourney's out in Vegas as well so it is possible that he asked someone that he know out there if they wanted to come work this one.

BBall_Junkie Wed Apr 28, 2004 08:02am

By the way, I question the 5'8??? Maybe when you are wearing your favorite 2" inch heels :D

But as Brad said it all looks the same from our altitude!

ace Wed Apr 28, 2004 04:30pm

Yes the Kingwood Classic... We've also got the AAU nationals this summer in July :-D. If you want to come work I'm sure Steve would be more than happy to have you down.

Now Brad and BBall, I am 5'8 unless my doctors lie to me.(And no Its not the head doctors)


FYI Thanks JR :-D LOL
