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.

I know you are.

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

I think if the lead of center would have seen the first action, there may have just been one foul for the pull down, and that may have been the end of it. It is easy to second guess if the fight could have been prevented.

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.
