official causing problems - Page 2

If that is the procedure, I guess that could be easy. But that is not the comparison we are really making.

Who really cares about FIBA in the first place? FIBA could blow up tomorrow and I would not even notice.

Peace

Only every person who plays, coaches, or officiates organized basketball outside of the US. Other than that, tho, nobody.

Of course the people that plays the sport outside of the US care about FIBA. The comment was made very tongue and cheek.

As was mine. Looks like we just missed each other. What else is new?

And it's a good thing too. Otherwise, your tougue would have ended up in his cheek!

John, have you thought about maybe ASKING "your" U1 something...instead of TELLING him the way it's going to be. Albeit...he was acting like a jerk (maybe trying to upstage you for some reason) but you did state that he was an experienced official. I don't know many experienced officials that would want to be talked to like that.
I gotta tell ya Big John...if you TOLD me not to say anything further to a Coach during a game...we are definetly starting (or continuing) our "history" with a discussion at half time or after the game.

EXAMPLE:
Dan-Ref: "Hey, JR, DO NOT say anything else to the home coach for the rest of the game."
JR: "Yes sir MR R, I'm your U1...whatever you say."
Chuck: "Hey I'm your U2...do I get a say in this?"

IMO, Chuck had an excellent reply to the Coach. He defused the situation and kept "your" team image intact.

Chucks reply:

"Coach, I honestly don't know what happened. I'd guess that U1 heard something that he thought came from your assistant. I'll pass along that nothing was said and we'll forget it happened."

So I have the best resolution to the problem, and then I get relegated to waterboy?

Hey, Chuck, DO NOT say anything else to RookieDude for the rest of the thread.

He's not up for the assigning job around me, is he? If so, I'm screwed, I think!
