Final thought, I am proud of who I am primarily because I am sensitive and understanding of others. Besides being happily married for 24 years, being faithful, and a terrific father for two teenage children, I am also very proud to be a nice guy. You should try it, you might like it!

You got a lot in common with that Muqtada Al-Sadr guy.

Hey JR, you obviously need to lighten up - some of the newer guys can't take your crusty old sarcasm...altho I must admit that I did get a little teary-eyed myself when you came to Chuck's rescue over the "shortcomings" comment - but that was because my feelings were hurt since you didn't defend me too...move over Dan, I'm headed for that corner with you!!

C'mon over Rocky, no problem squeezing you in!

Aw, that brought a tear to my eye, scyguy. Seriously.

Tell ya what? I'm a sensitive guy too. The next time that I get the urge to go out in my backyard, start a campfire up, and then get a buncha people to come over so we can all sit around in a circle and hold hands and sing Kumbaya---you'll be the first one that I call. I promise.

You wait for the call now.

Have a good Holiday, scyguy.

Unfortunately, this thread has deteriorated into a string of childish personal attacks. Maybe we can do better with another thread.

I've been reading this thread and just thought it was time
to post my opinion.

I officiate lots of basketball year round and I own
an "assigning" business in San Diego.

I constantly refer my "veterans" and new recruits to this forum with hopes that they will learn the finer points of officiating and will get some insightful viewpoints and
appropriate rules interpretations.

But somehow many of the threads get too personal
and many are turned sideways by JR.

Why doesn't somebody T him whether he stays in his box or not!

I had an awful first impression of him when I signed up
and even though I've been away from this site for a few months, it seems that nothing has changed!

Woo Hoo, Morgana the Kissing Bandit. It brings back memories. Memories when I had hair on my head.

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

I have to agree with Mark Dexter and Camron Rust's earliest posts. The Head Coach is supposed to be sitting on the bench or standing in his coaching box. If he is on the court he already is committing an infraction of the rules and if I run into him because he is on the court, well guess what? WHACK!!

I also have to add that my opinion comes with a bias. In 34 years of officiating I have charged two coaches with technical fouls because I ran into them while they were on the court. The first one was the head coach of a women's college team and the second one was the head coach of a girls' H.S. varsity team. In the latter case, the technical foul elimnated a turnover by his opponents that would have given his team the ball with approximately 4 seconds left in the game and a chance to tie the game and send it into overtime.

Barry, you had an awful first impression of me because you came on here trying to show everybody how smart you were, and it got shown pretty damn quick how little you really did know. You don't post here any more because you don't know the rules very well, and that get's pointed out to you very quickly. You also got very ticked off at me when I pointed out to you that, on the rules that you made up on your web site for your rec league officials, two of them were completely wrong. You had to re-write your website to correct them, didn't you? Do you want me to do that again? There's still 2 more there that you got wrong. I'll leave it to you to guess which ones- unless you bug me again. I also pointed out to you that the only time that you seemed to post here was when you thought you could slip in some free advertising for your rec leagues. As for getting personal, how about the steroid-monkey that referees for you that posted here and physically threatened me? Remember MuscleRef, Barry? Or did you forget about that one too?

If you wanna plead ignorance to the above, Barry, I'll go dig those threads out. Easy to do with Google. Your choice.

High school varsity game! seeded district game, rivalry,
packed house!

I thought of something that commentators often mention at a "packed house!", The sixth man is on the court!

As rules against fans prevent them from obscenities etc. in order to help ref's with game managment, it doesn't prevent them from becoming loud; extremely loud; or wave disconcerting objects (like balloons) behind the backboard during a free throw. It's part of the game!

Sounds like the coach was outmatched and hasn't learned to value hand signals over yelling instructions. But of course if we don't apply the rule well he doesn't have to learn anything except; we refs make exceptions to the rule "because of the ramifications??"

Lovely to have opportunity to share after thoughts and make a few gallow observations; thanks for the example I'll remember this one.

I thought good-natured rubbing is why Dan has callouses?

LOL! Or maybe the rubbing gave Dan his good nature?

how can you say that you would hold your whistle until the lay up is finished and then blow it. You used the example of an injury in the backcourt on a fast break, since when does an injury constitute a breach of the rules such as the serious one the coach just committed. come on, use your head. Dead ball at the point of the contact, not 10 seconds later.
