Very well officiated D-I game last night

We obviously are not reading the same post, because I never made any comment about what is taught in this area or what is expected. I only referenced the Big Ten because you reference the Big Ten and a successful official.

What I do on this is personal on this. I do not care what others may or may not do. I must be doing something right because no one is saying anything to me "in this region" for what I am doing. And that is not to say that they do not tell me to change things or make a point of a mechanic I use. This just has not been one of them.

Let me also clarify this, I work for two former Big Ten officials and I talk to a couple D1 officials (one worked the NCAA Tournament last year) on a semi-regular basis.

Peace

Rut, I think it is safe to say you put the ball in at the approximate spot it went out at and you just want to be argumentative. That is OK. Please don't think for one minute that you are the only one on this board that knows or has been evaluated by someone who works on TV. You said you would put the ball into play anywhere along the endline. The endline is pretty long for this. Go to one of your camps/clinics where one of your D1 officials is evaluating and try this. To be specific because you asked. If the ball goes out on the enline where it intersects the three-point line on the opposite side from where you are, put it inbounds where the endline intersects the three-point line on the side where you are. See how that works out for you. That does meet your criteria of putting the ball into play anywhere along the endline. How about the ball goes out almost in the corner and you put it into play on the endline right beside the paint area. I bet that one will go over well too. Both those scenarios are pretty ridiculous IMO, but they meet your criteria and I'm being specific! You might as well stop bull$h1tting and drop the argument; you know good and d@mn well you wouldn't do that crap in a game. You would put the ball into play at approximately the same spot where it went out.

You are right, this is pretty entertaining. If you want to save face, although I know you will probably say you don't care what people on this board think/say, you should probably start using the old smiley faces in this thread big guy!

Aw screw it!!! It really does not matter what I say anyway. Not like it is going to change anything.
