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

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
