The obvious answer to "Tell you what, you ref the game and I'll sit down and coach" is "I might as well, seeing the sh!tty job you're doing". And in Old School's case, the coach would probably be right.

Yup, never say nonsense like that to any coach outside of rec leagues. Even in rec leagues, it's not a good idea because you're just baiting the coach right back. Either deal with it or ignore it.

No - it's "Let's switch places. You come out here and ref and I'll sit on the bench and act like a jackass."

OK...Proving that I am not infallible , I have heard back from my assignor/interpretor. Pump fakes should not cause the three point count to suspend. Only an actual move to the basket should do that. Obviously, that also clears up my confusion regarding shooting fouls.

I humbly bow to you others who were right.

So your assignor is always right then?

Can't be. It's my assignor that is always right, at least in my area. Actually I'm lucky to have an excellent assignor, but I just had to jump in on that one.

You better believe it!!! Isn't that right sir?

Actually I have differnt assignors for each conference that I work. This one specifically is also an official rules interpretor for the OHSAA.

Disagree, there is no team control during a loss or interrupted dribble.

Exactly where did you learn THAT piece of information????

Glad that you finally came around. It is okay that we disagree with each other from time to time. It is often the stimulus for how we learn and improve.

We do however reserve the right to blast you with strange pictures of squirrels and other assorted items for your transgression.
