It ends with a bang

[RefereeAJ]

Not "allowing overtime" in a game is a disservice to the game. As an official, you owe it to the kids to never do this. No matter what level you are officiating, that current game is the most important game to those kids and if you "don't allow overtime" that is a shame.

I guess this guy is suffering from "DKPY" (Doesn't Know Padgett Yet) syndrome. You can always tell a newbie.

AJ - welcome to the group. Eventually, you'll be able to tell when someone is just kidding. FYI - the sarcastic eyerolling smilie is a dead giveaway.

Sounds good. I'll have to get that syndrome checked out by my doctor!!! A fellow official made me aware of this forum...said good things about it. I decided to check it out. I've been reading and catching up. Happy to be on board.

I expected this one to be "Brightly Brightly Colored Colored Candy Candy Shell Shell", since it's brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department.

SWEET! I was hoping for a directory like this.... course after you read a few thousand threads, you kinda figure it out for yourself. This is great!. I enjoy everything you guys bring to the forum. Keep up the good work.

I don't know, or know of, a single official that would actually do anything purposefully to prevent an overtime. We may joke about it, but in reality, some of the most fun we have as officials comes in the OT games.
Now, let's not take ourselves too seriously, either. It's okay to joke around.

You may know one.

BITS - when you post your list, be sure to include some of our obscure references and what they mean - (Diebler has already been mentioned) such as "fishnets", "over the back" and "reach". Oh yeah - don't forget Billy Packer.

Some of the people were being very sarcastic. If you stay awhile you might see this.

Peace
