Good point, OS. Even really poor officials can hope! To hang any of this mess on the officials and judge them as poor is ludicrous. You didn't see the rest of the game to that point. You would not be man eough to jump in there and grab those hooligans like the refs did.

You're right, but it's not being a man jumping in there like that, it's being stupid. And that proves my point. I have a very good chance of making it when I see poor performances like this. Now if you want to jump in there and do that because you was late on the call an out of position. You go right ahead. I'm gonna sit back and enjoy the show, watching you get plummeted!!

This also proves my point about officiating. This referee reminded me of JR who's out there thinking of a case play and what rule describes this situation instead of being in his proper position to officiate the play. That's how come he's out of position. Good officiating is also about being in the right place at the right time. This know-how can not be learned from a book. It's like playing, you either got it or you don't. Basing an officials ability on how well he can quote a rulebook is also ludicrous, but you guys do me this way. How far am I back now? I believe it's the YWCA.

The C official here, should have been at the FT line extended and should have come in with a double foul, jump ball or possession arrow because the foul occur on the rebound, no team control, base line out. You see, didn't need a rulebook for that, don't need to refer to a case play either. Now go find that in the rulebook and come back and tell me how wrong I am again. I'll be waiting....and my name is old school, try not to get me confused with this jmo character.

Never heard that usage for 'plummeted' before. Then again, I have never heard applications for rules that you espouse before, either.

Let me help you out here a little bit, JMO. NCAA officials use a mechanics book. That tells them how to be in the right place at the right time. NFHS officials have their own mechanics book. That also tells them how to be in the right place at the right time. Rec league officials don't know that these previously mentioned mechanics books even exist, let alone the fact that there are actually such things like real live rule books also(). That's why they remain rec league officials forever and all time.

An NCAA official may occasionally be out of position. That may cost him sometimes too, as in a situation like this. That doesn't make him a poor official though. If he was a poor official, he would have been long-gone by now. Poor officials don't last at that level.

You aren't qualified to comment on any official, let alone a D1 official.

I beg to differ. At the right time? This cannot be determined in a book. Maybe in your world but in the real world, you have to work off instincts. I'm sorry JR, you can not learn instincts from a book. I'm going to introduce a new concept to you. If you can find the defintion, please share. There's this thing call IT! You either have IT or you don't. You can't get IT from reading a book. Of course, bookworms like you know nothing about this.

Wrong again, one of the rec leagues I work uses NCAA Men's mechanics, another uses NBA. Most officials, at some point in time in their career has done some time working rec leagues. It is not the worse ball you can work. In fact, I have had some very very good and competitive rec men's games.

You would be surprised. I'm okay with you thinking this. It takes the pressure off, I don't have to be right all the time. Life is a lot more enjoyable when you don't have to be right all the time. You also live a lot longer.....Peace

I'd settle for once in a while.

For some reason, the song "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" just popped into my head.

Look up the phrase "internet troll" sometime. Meanwhile, enjoy.

Not true, you guys are the ones trying very hard I might add to convince everyone else that frequents this forum that I am not qualified. Tell you what, you might be able to convince everyone else here, but you will never deter me. I am happy, and I'm sticking to my call, you, on the other hand, are the ones that are bent that I am here. It is you that needs to get over yourself. But while you're at it, how about you try not to throw another official under the bus. You know what they say, once you do it, once a criminal, always a criminal.

And therein lies a big part of why you get such grief here. You stick to your call even when it has been proven over and over and over that you are wrong.

In what way?
