Feeling a little left out? Or would you rather see a flame war?

Wee could take care of both items since, if I remember correctly, Jack is on your side of the Mississippi. Maybe you two could make an evening of it sometime along.

And let me know when, so I can come here and say insulting things behind your backs... get this board back to normal...

Juulie, I only wish I could express myself as beautifully and incisively as you have just done. You have captured the essence of what I said. A good official must possess the virtue of disinterestedness. The person who tries to do right, simply because it IS right, and not because it will benefit them in any way, is being disinterested. It's all a matter of ethics.

Thanks for putting me "on your team". ;)

You may wish to try reading The Rules of the Game by Pierluigi Collina. I know that he is not a basketball official, but he is currently regarded as the best soccer referee in the world, and has some wonderful insights about the duty to administer a fair game and the fortitude to make the tough calls because they are the right calls.
