When I have had to eject a coach I have always had a reason to do so. If not I would not have ejected that person. I could care less about the AD or Assignor questioning my judgement. If someone is acting that much of a fool in a JV game I can only imagine what an idiot they would be in a varsity contest. What I am saying is, if the deserve to get tossed then they are getting tossed regardless of who they are and how many teams they coach. Also, when I have had to toss someone it does not necessarily mean that I have done a poor job officiating that lead up to that point.

To paraphrase Bill Maher: You can be right and still be wrong.

So to paraphrase an even older saying, then we know what you are but are now just negotiating the price?

Rich:

That's cold, real cold.

Well, sometimes that's what it takes. But if you think the comment crosses the line, go ahead and remove the post.

Rich:

I do not think it went over the line, and I will not delete the post.

Mark,

I stated earlier that I am not a perfect basketball official but I have officiated basketball at the: boys/girls H.S. level for 34 years; womens college for 31 years (31 years ago I was the first male to officiate womens college basketball in the State of Florida and one of the first males in the Southeast), including 18 Div. I playoff games and 20 jr. college playoff games; and mens college basketball for 12 years. Since 1993 I have officiated over 30 AAU and YBOA boys and girls national championship tournaments (including 4 YBOA girls national title games in the last 5 years) plus one PAL boys/girls national championship (including the boys 16U national title game). I sit on four IAABO national committees. I am a rules interpreter for my local officials association and teach its officiating class.

What does the preceding paragraph mean? For one thing it means that I am a bald old geezer who is long in the tooth and has just seen about everything possible until the next new thread really does come up with something I have not seen or heard of before. It also means that I am a crusty old curmudgeon who has the experience, knowledge, and hopefully the wisdom to take a young whippersnapper like you to task for unthical and unprofessional behavior.

MTD, Sr.

Wow, that's a nice resume. Congrats and I hope to be there down the road.
