jon diebler
 

This kid is amazing to me he averages 40.5 pts per game. He is the leading scorer in high school bbal this year. He had a game 2nite here in Ohio and he had 39 pts at the half. I didnt see him live but his game was shown on our local satellite/cable provider.He is # 2 in Ohio for all time scoring ,passing Lebron James. I'm glad he is going to Ohio State next year. Thoughts anyone? BTW ...I'm a newbie here 1st year ref and loving it!!!!

I have no idea who you are talking about. Glad to see you're enjoying your season!

Can I get his autograph?

He's talking about Jon Diebler.

The more you officiate, the less you will care about individual players. ;)

That's about all I know about him...his name.

You don't know anything about Jon Diebler?

<b>The</b> Jon Diebler?

I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell Ya!

Aha, that high school player !
Red shirts in Big 10
Because of grades, transfers to Western Kentucky.
Passes all credits and wins DII Nat'l championship.
Becomes JV coach in Hometown, Ohio.

I'm horrible!
I know.

That's the one.

Married his high school sweetheart. Took over the varsity program from an ailing coach and ended up winning the State Championship. Got run over by a float in the victory parade. There's a memorial to him right by the stoplight in the middle of the town.

It brings a tear to my eye whenever I think of it. Alas, Jon Deibler. A great American!

I heard on Fox News that Hillary Clinton was driving that float, she actually chased him down 2 blocks before catching up with and dispatching poor Jon...apparently Jon Deibler looks a hell of a lot like Bill Clinton and Jon's mistake was he had a young cutie on his arm at the time...

I heard that Jon had a cigar too, but they're trying to keep all of that out of the papers. There's no need to tarnish his legacy.

Jon Diebler, we hardly knew ye!:(

Jon Diebler...

Welcome to the board, partner. We talk officiating here, not players.

It's such a shame, too. He had such a promising young career. He was a great guy, too.
It's true, it's true.

It's nice to see people from all over our great country responding so well in their grief. Special remembrance funds have already been set up in Jon's memory. Donations can be made through this web site also, c/o me. Part of the monies received will go to consoling the grieving widow. I'll take care of that part too. I'm a sharing kind of guy, as you well know.

RIP, Jon. Gone, but never forgotten.

Has anyone filed the paperwork for the "jon diebler" Memorial Scholarship?

I just bought a pair of Converse Jon Diebler All-Stars. Makes me feel humble.

Except O.J. Mayo!! :D

Jon, plays for his father. His father used to be the boys' H.S. varsity coach at Gibsonburg (Ohio) H.S., and has a reputation of being a wild man on the sideline; two years ago he served an OhioHSAA two (2) game suspension for being ejected from a game that he was coaching.

When we moved back to Ohio from Los Angeles, I joined the Wood Co. Bkb. Off. Assn. While his was at Gibsonburg H.S. I officicated his team's four (4) times and never had a problem with him. People are flabergasted that I never came close to giving him a technical foul in those games. It was easy. During my first year as a member of the WCBOA I and officiated a scrimmage game for him along with the WCBOA's secretary (Daryl ("The Preacher" Long) and president. Early in the scrimmage I made a charge call against one of his player's and he went ballistic on me. I stopped him dead in his tracks and told him that I would not tolerate such conduct by a coach in a scrimmage game and he had better back on the sideline and coach him team. He was speechless. I never had a problem with him after that even though I know many officials who says he is still a terror on the sidelines.

MTD, Sr.

Guys..
This is hilarious. I thought I had a good sense of humor. I am humbled!!!

I feel your pain. I just put a Jon Diebler memorial ribbon on the back of my car.

<i>In Jon We Trust</i>

I officicated a game once. Took me two weeks to recover. :rolleyes:

Mine says "Support Our Dieblers". ;)

thats cool guys. I can take the heat. I was just amased with his game. the guy that taught my offiating classes did the first upper sandusky vs shelby game and told me about him. just like my first game im still learning. Thanks for putting me in place.

NEohioref,
Attaboy !
Way to hang in and hold on.
Welcome to the forum ! :)

Hey, consider yourself officially initiated. Just remember, there are some guys that don't know the meaning of the word 'quit.' They also don't know the meaning of 'funny,' 'humorous,' or even 'mildly amusing!':D

I'm going to start a line of "Live Jon" yellow bracelets. And, for those who want to follow in his footsteps, we will be offering a line of WWDD (What Would Diebler Do) necklaces.

Jon was such a man.Jon was not such a man. I heard he wrote the pilot for a sitcom due out next year on Fox. Anyone know the name?

Season must be over, huh Snaq? Too much time on your hands???

ROTFL:D

Almost, but not quite. I've got next week off since I'm going to Denver for a week of playing Air Force. When I get back, I have two games left as of now (might get a few more, but the 6 year old is ready to spend more time with her dad, so I won't take too much.)

After all that time dealing with coaches, you should be more than ready to handle the six-year-old!

I've been surprised at how many times the techniques from one transfer well to the other. For example, she responds well to the stop sign.

I have a lot of success with the "OS Evil Eye!"

And a "time-out" for a six year old is almost the same as a coach being seatbelted......

"Married With Dieblers". :rolleyes:

"The Dieblers"

Homer Diebler tries to make sense of the world living in Springfield with his wife Marge and children Bart and Lisa.

I have an idea for a sitcom: The son and the dad live together, and also run a junk yard. The dad is always faking heart attacks, and the son is always bailing him out of trouble. He has a couple of cool old friends that stop buy, and a sister in law he doesn't get along with. I'm thinking of calling It .........."Diebler and Son". Any thoughts?

Have you made the pilot yet?

I saw a different pilot the other night: Jon's wife said, "Gee, Jon, you were a little hard on the Diebler last night."

2 words:

Diebler's Island

With Chuck Elias in a supporting role saying "De plane, Jon, de plane!"

I just saw the new western with this theme song:

Out of the night
When the full moon is bright
Comes a horseman known as Diebler

This bold renegade
Marks a "D" with his blade
A "D" that stands for Diebler

Diebler - the fox so cunning and free
Diebler - he makes the sign of the "D"

Diebler, Diebler, Diebler!


It was a really cool show. Diebler attacked the garrison run by Colonel Packer and freed all the bench warmers. He used his sword to mark the sign of the "D" on Sgt. Versace's uniform. He also gave a T to Pvt. Knight. :eek:

Has anybody seen my meds?

Well, I was thinking more of the Isle of Gilligan than the Isle of Fantasy, but that works too.

Lessee though, we need a role for Chuck....I got it. A box of radioactive coconuts wash up on shore and Gilligan eats one, causing him to shrink to the size of a walnut. The professor concocts a potion to restore him to full size.

Chuck plays the shrunken Gilligan.

Or the walnut......

Mick,

I think you're just jealous that The Dieb is not going to your favorite school in Michigan :p

Jealous ? Naaah ! They already had a Marcus Taylor.

Yea he makes great cookies, Oh wait that's Keebler. Sorry, My bad!

But what about the "Diebler Elves"????? :confused:

Oh yes what about them????????????????? I think I worked with one the other night...:D

Now we have a role for Chuck.

Chuck is a cookie?

Just thought it would be fun to revisit this thread
 

For any of you newbies out there, here's the thread that started the Diebler craze.

A good read Mark, thanks for sharing.

And, even dating back to 2007, I saw NO mention of his defense or rebounding..........similar to this yr! :eek:

Amazing that Billy never posted a pic in this thread. Yet. I know Diebler seems like a personable guy in the chat room.

Then I will. Here's a pic of Diebler hitting a long three. Ya' gotta admit the guy is really tall.

Must be hard to jump with feet of granite.

For "normal" human beings, yes - but not for "DA DIEB"!

Frankly, I am quite surprised that with all of the hype, that he did not go to the...wait for it...SEC.
