perplexed and wondering
Having posted here a few times, and gotten some pretty good help from some nice people I still am wondering something. the majority of the answers I have gotten have been in general like this " that is a judgement call, how can we give a definite answer" or, " Your viewpoint is different than the refs, and not knowing how things accually went down we can't give a clear answer" The overwhelming response is that most of the situations in a game are judgement calls and since most of what I have heard is that you really cannot get into the head of another ref and define something, what exactly is this forum for it not for asking questions?? I was just wonderin' |

It's for responding to questions as well.
And the annual baseball thread.

The people here are great, and will help you whenever they can. Sometimes, though, a call is purely judgement (like whether a foul was just a common foul or an intentional foul) and it's very unlikely that you'll find someone on here who will definitely say that it's one or the other without having seen the play in person. |

Art,
If you expect people here or on any board to give you an answer about something they did not see, you would not be very realistic. Most of basketball officiating is about judgment. There are very few hard answers we can give without video tape and even with video tape you will have different opinions on what should and should not be called. Peace

I think you should see it as a good thing that someone would tell you they would have to see something that is judgement before giving an opinion. It would be very easy to build someone up or tear them down by saying something was right or wrong without seeing it. The honest answer is many judgement calls must be viewed before someone can give their opinion.

There are rules. And they can be cited. There are also case plays, which will give an example of a play and they can help to understand the interpretation of a rule.
In the case-book plays, all of the needed information is provided to make a specific determination. Many times, a poster's question does not have enough information to form an exact answer. Other times, non-officials come looking to bash officials. Other times, it is just the judgement of the official. Feel free to ask a question. Try to give all of the information needed so that an official can give an intelligent and honest answer. Be prepared to get an answer that you do not like. |
