That would be "wriggle and squirm"...and I triple-dog-dare you to call a T for that in a sanctioned Men's NCAA game (intramurals don't count)...we'll see how long your assignor keeps you on his roster once you start making up your own rules...

S/he already admitted that she never has actually called it. It seems that her bark is worse than her bit. At least, I know I'm not wriggling. How about you wrocky wroad? Are you all a-squirm?

The only thing in this thread that made me "riggle" or "skwirm" at all was the part about using the "Batman and Robin" line on a coach. Tried that once...didn't go over very well.

Actually had a college men's game this past weekend and I gave coaches and players warning in pregame. This worked to perfection, I mean absolutely no problems with this and I think the game was played that much better because of it. Got a lot of accolades after the game for job well done.

As I indicated before, I am not afraid to be an official. I don't worry about nothing but calling the game and if I feel something deserves a technical, I have no problems or fear calling it. If I mess it up, it won't be the first time, and it won't be the last either because I accept the fact that I am not perfect, therefore, I don't sweat it. Like I said, it is more important to be consistent then it is to be good.

I'm sticking to the rules and guldelines laid down for me by my own state interpreter in accordance with the NFHS. I hope you're conforming to your assignor, too.

WOW!! Three errors in one post by Juulie? Amazing.

1. There should be a space between is and not.
2. There should not be a space between the e and the apostrophe.
3. g-u-i-d-e-l-i-n-e-s

:D

And one more for good measure.

Now, that is truly funny.:D

Can you imagine sending <b>multi players</b> to the <b>bench</b> in a college game?

I will, however, give a player a technical foul for shirt tail not tucked, after several warnings of course. Real example: Girls 10th grade game. I'm administrating the FT and I tell player to tuck in. Won't do it. I repeat, same response. I send player to bench. Coach asks why and I said, she won't tuck in her shirt. Okay, next dead whistle, coach sends her back. I warn her again. Still won't do it. BLAM! Technical foul, unsportsmanlike conduct.

So, which is it? And exactly what is your purpose here? Do you not have anything better to do than "play" referee?

Please do not waste our time anymore with your lies, mistruths, half-truths, etc... Some of us are actually here to learn and improve our game. You are not contributing to that at al...

Again with the misspelling. The word is spelled "intramural."

Oh, I don't know about this. I would think it would be better to be at least occasionally right (or good) than consistently bad and wrong. It's even worse to be consistently purposefully ignorant of the rules. But, if what you're doing is getting you more rec league and intramural games, good for you.

Okay, you got me on that one, I didn't actually give her a technical, I just made her go sit back down, but I was very close too.

JR, after giving several warnings, what would you do? Ignore it? I think that's kind of my point. It's ridiculous to keep giving them warning and making them sit down, imo. Sure, during play the jersey can come out on it's own, but these guys where getting beat, they where giving me a hard time, so I made them put there shirt tails in.

That's one of the definitions of "troll." Please stop.
