Got that right. I didn't even think to expand outside of basketball.

I remember Sokol. You are absolutely correct about his demeanor on the court. He was great fun to watch. I always thought of him as <font color = red>kind of a pudgy Daffy Duck</font>.

[/B][/QUOTE]Luv it. That might just be the most accurate description of Manny refereeing as possible. :D

On second thought, an even better description of Manny might be that he was the spittin' image of Hector on the old Tweetybird cartoons.

A nervous Hector.

I got the opportunity to go down to the Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions last weekend and work. I talked to Marat on the phone in registering to work the event and I met both Marat and Kane at the tournament. I would agree that they are good dudes and definitely are destined for officiating success. As for my two cents on the thread:

NBA: Dan Crawford
NCAA: Joe Lindsay (one word-calm), Doug Shows, Mike Stuart, Lisa Mattingly, Tina Napier
MLB: Sam Holbrook, Randy Marsh
NFL: Hochuli (the best in the league, period)

My favorite
 

NBA: Dick Bavetta, Joe Crawford & Zach Zarba. Sometimes, Violet Palmer, she's great.

Hey, the Ohio Valley was mentioned... don't hear much news from the OVC. I am currently attending an OVC school. Nice to see some of the OVC officials mentioned.

Aren't they the same person??? :confused:

Hey! I bought you a diet coke AND clam chowder! Doesn't that count for anything??:D

DJ, I made that post almost a year ago!! Before the chowdah. :) You are now tied with Dan for my favorite official. Besides, Dan hasn't bought me any drinks in almost 2 years now. :mad:

And who the dexter is digging up all these old threads, anyway?!?!

Chuck - when did you move? I noticed the slight change in your "location".

And, more importantly - do you have pictures from your neighborhood?

Ahhhh Rock, you can't buy love.

See?

Sadly, my location will revert to its "normal" status tomorrow. :(

Chuck, are you on a cruise or did you fly down? I'm going on a Southern Caribbean cruise at the beginning of June and I can't wait.

Blane Reichelt. :)

When I visual Chuck, I see Blane Reichelt, although Blane is much taller. :D

$.02 worth .............................
 

My favorite official in the NBA would be the official who would have the stones to call traveling on the superstars on a regular basis.

"King" LeBron should pack luggage on his last two scoring forays last night.



Doug

But Chuck has more hair.
