I don't even referee basketball, but got a copy of the test from a friend. I told him what was going on and he laughed at how easy it was. I took it and scored an 88. I can't recall the last high school basketball game I watched and I scored and 88...this was not a test!

Now, I can't understand how guys who actually have worked, studied and love to referee need the answers to a basic test. It was simple and this is coming from someone who only played the game, not officiated it!

Some of the comments were simply poetic, "This'll help get me started..." "Thanks for helping me, here's the email of my friend." "Are you sure your answers are ALL correct?"

Getting the answers is cheating. Do you allow the players and coaches to cheat? Nice example you are setting for future refs!

Give me your email and I'll send you 100 true false and we'll see how you do. I've got an officiating course with 1,000 questions assuming I can print them out are you up for the challenge.

I don't think you get it.
I'm not trying to referee basketball.
I'm trying to understand how any official can condone cheating.

The fact that you are trying to test my knowledge with an exam, just proves my opinion. Tests do matter...even basic ones that are required by many states. Cheaters hurt their partners, the players and the game. High school athletics is upposed to be about sportsmanship...except for the part about cheating that is.

Exclamation Shut up dumbass!!

Windy,

Will you shut the f@@k up!!!

No one cares what you think. Not everyone used the test or even takes the Part 1 Exam at all. There are many states that make their own test. If you are too stupid to figure that out, I do not know what to tell you.

Go work baseball and tell everyone at that forum what they do not know. You seem to think you know more than anyone else, so why not go tell them over there. All I know that you have been trying to tell basketball officials what we can or cannot do with the rules and you do not even officiate the sport. So maybe they can be a dumb as you are about the rules. Now you want to take a moral position about rules knowledge. How about pick up a freakin rulebook yourself when someone outside of baseball tells you what you do not understand. That would be a start.

Peace

The vast majority of officials take this test open book, since they can look up the answers, is that cheating?

Many areas don't even take the test in a group, you get your test, take it home, fill in the answers, and either send it in or go to a class and hand it in. Some areas you may not even know the answers after you hand it in.

For the majority of HS officials this is not a test as much as a study guide that covers rule changes, clarifications, and POE.

No Windy (G. S.) I don't think you get it. You're full of crap if you think anyone believes you got an 88 on the test.

You'd have to know all of the technical rules such as when does a throw in begin and end, jump ball administration officials duties etc. etc. etc. and you don't. I know who you are and I respect you as an umpire but you should stay on the baseball forum. Incidently it's impossible to cheat on an open book test. That's why it's called on an open book test. You have nothing to contribute here!

My next mail-out of the test will be tomorrow morning.

If anyone wants it then, please drop me a line.

Everyone who I haven't sent it to yet, but has e-mailed me will also get it tomorrow.
