Naw, can't agree. Of course, I'm a disagreeable cuss anyway.

Just call the game by the rules and forget about trying to make any kind of personal decision as to what's fair or not. Looking for an excuse to get away from calling a double-violation is wrong. That's not fair to the defensive team; they never wrote the rule. If it's that close to a double violation, just call the damn thing and quit trying to impose your own philosophy on the game.

You can't agree with concentrating on determining who violated first? I'm not saying to make one up, if you're not sure. I'm saying work on catching the first one, b/c there almost always is a first one.

You shouldn't be reading this anyway. It's almost time for your nap, isn't it?

Thanks JR for your input. We can always count on you to impose your philosophy on all of us. I agree that if its that close then call it like the rule says. I still feel if at all possible it is best to "try" to determine if someone violated first, especially if the shooting team is going to lose their shot attempt. This is my opinion, as you have said in the past, I am entitled to it. You may not agree with it, but I am allowed to express it.

SmokeEater, if it's not too much trouble, please go screw yourself. I wasn't trying to impose my philosophy on you or anybody else. I was giving my opinion, and my opinion only. If you don't like that, then that's just too freaking bad.

As usual Sir you have shown your true colors. Don't express yourself on this forum or JR will tell you you are wrong. Then when you tell him it is your opinion hell tell you that his dissagreement is just his opinion. Well done. I was sarcastic I admit it. You have been an arrogant A$$ in almost every thread I have read on this Forum. Frankly I thought what Chuck and I were expressing was in the best interest of the game. Not once did we say dont follow th rule.

Finally not once did I get rude with you Sir. I would expect the same consideration from you. If you have nothing good to say then please refrain from responding to the threads, its not constructive it just starts conflicts.

You didn't get rude or personal, SmokeEater? Getting "sarcastic" isn't "rude" or "personal"? Maybe you should re-read your words above. I disagreed with you. I didn't try to impose my philosophy on you at all. There was no damn reason to get personal with me because I disagreed with your opinion.

As for your latest- "true colors" and "arrogant A$$", hey, it's obvious that you don't like me. Too bad. I think I can live with that. I basically don't give a sh!t what people like you think anyway.

[SmokeEater]

Being Sarcastic isnt always rude. In fact it can be quite funny at times. As for not liking you, I DONT even know you, so I can't say I don't like you. I respect your experience as a referee, yet I tend to take exception to how you express your opinion as the right one many times. I never said I didn't get personal, for my sarcasm was personal, and I admitted that. Thank you again for your opinion, it brings a new perspective to the conversation.

Just one last question, SmokeEater.....

Why did you get "sarcastic" and "personal" to me when I wasn't even responding to you or your post in the first place? If you check back, I replied to something that Chuck Elias had posted. Yup....Chuck, not you. If I ever do respond to one of your posts, are you gonna get just as uptight?

I'm done.

[SmokeEater]

Because it was my point that Chuck was agreeing with in the first place.

Chuck = helpful and insightful comments
