Ouch... Good call.

LMAO! I was curious as to who would respond to that negatively! I was glad to see that it was you JR. Anyway, once your p starts calling in your area and nothing is happening away from the ball, you tend to look in your p's area. The difference is JR, I don't blow the whistle in my p's area! Or did you forget that point?

I would like to add, who is it that was looking for advise on this forum? You Weasel! So don't be so quick to acknowledge others responses. Remember, on this forum, others put others responses down to make themselves look better!

If it wasn't true, how can the same posters comment on their p's making a bad call? Where were they looking?

Nope, and I also didn't forget that you came on here to publically dump on your partners for exactly the same thing that you were doing.

Yup, STAY IN YOUR OWN AREA indeed. Or did <b>you</b> forget that point?

First of all, I wasn't looking for any advice on this thread. It is a poll.

Secondly, if you can't take a simple comment without being offended, it is your problem.

And last but not the least, I don't think my innoffensive comment made me look "better" than anybody.

No offense. Peace.

The original question was what was the hardest call to make. I stated it was a no call in your p's area. You state that I came here to DUMP on my partners! I responded to Weasel's post! Not to debate integrity with you. (I don't make calls in my p's area which was my point) I guess you have never got pissed because your p has made calls in your area, yeh right. I've been a member of this forum for three years, and have never dumped on my p's.

Again I state, members of this board try to make others
look bad to make themselves look better. Can I say, EGO?

The hardest call to make is the call you are out of position to see. Block/charge, hand checks or illegal screens can all be easy if you are in position to make them. Referee the defense and all calls can be very easy.

Peace

You don't need me to make you look bad. Your own words above do that quite nicely. Never dumped on your partners, eh?

I agree with your last statement though.You're trying to make your partners look bad to make <b>yourself</b> look better! Sad!

Jury Park,

We are online, are you aware of that? My partners SUCK! Noone knows my partners on this site. I am simply venting my frustration with the quality of officiating where I am. They don't know traveling from their mother. They call OOB from the C on the endline. You don't know me from Adam. I have been playing basketball since 1976! I know Basketball. Anyway, If you go back to various posts, you will notice various posterss ask whether their p's were correct. And the responses will show that they were WRONG! Is that any different than what I was referring too? My point was to pay attention to your own area! I didn't intend to have a debate with you on this matter. I was simply stating to stay in your own area was IMO the hardest call NOT to make.


Looking back at previous posts, I want to make it clear that I was referring to P's making calls in my area. Not that they were blowing calls in their own area!

We all...
 

We all can use a little help sooner or later but if it becomes habit forming then either the one that's reaching is out of line or the person who needs help all the time needs to step up and make the call. As far as someone reaching into my area, I do not have an ego and hope that you are there when I need you and I will try to do the same. No more and no less.

Some 3 person crews have the C take that call, because L WILL be asking for help ANYWAY, because even though it was their line it was in C's primary. I've seen MANY high profile D-1 officials do just that mechanic.

Why not just say the most difficult thing IS NOT a call, but staying in your primary, very different from what you said and HOW you said it.

Remember when you point your finger at your partners 4 are pointing back at YOU.;)

Not a real good point. I have been a passenger in airplanes since 1964, but that doesn't mean I know how to fly one.

I'm not trying to come down hard on you, only pointing out that a mistake a lot of players make is thinking that because they play the game a lot, that qualifies them to officiate the game.

BTW - I didn't mean I have been a passenger in airplanes since 1964 continuously!

Being at altitude for 40 years would explain a lot.:)

Uh-oh. Have at him, JR.

Uh-oh. Have at him, JR. [/B][/QUOTE]Nope. Ain't gonna change his mind. Time to just let 'er go and move on, Mike.
