I read the posts on this board often but have never posted. But now I feel I must. OldSchool makes me laugh as much as he does all of you. I am sure I am not alone on this but I thought I'd bring it anyway since it happens alot. Do you all notice that when a question is asked of him, he gives an answer only not to the question in its entirety? Example. When he was just asked about wht levels he officiates he answered yes to all except the NBA. Problem is when he pasted the original question he change the question. It went from D-III, D-II, D-I college, to just college. So now I want some more humor and I want to know which levels of college and which side, men or women. No one else here seems to have a problem ansering questions and getting feedback.......but OldSchool.

I'm also saying, and you seem to have missed this part, that D1 assistant coaches wouldn't do an outburst like that. They can keep themselves under control. At this level, they don’t act like fans. Oddly enough, AAU coaches can keep themselves under control, too. I know, because I've seen them do it. This particular assistant coach was a gem the rest of the game; doubtful that it was because he thought I was reffing better. His head coach is actually quite good at asking questions during dead balls and time outs. Every other coach I've had after giving them a T in a previous game has controlled himself. Also, AAU ball is not the same as D1 ball. Sportsmanship is more valued (at least around here) and expected to be enforced. I'm not going to tailor my game based on what I think I might call if I was officiating D1; that's ludicrous. |
Old School, as worldbefree noted, you deleted the references as to which level of college you've worked. The implication in your answer is that you currently work all levels of college, including NCAA D-1. Is that correct? Since you also said you currently work all levels under NBA, is it true that you have worked both an NCAA D-1 game, and a grade school game recently? What college conference(s) do you work? If you feel uncomfortable giving that information out in a public setting, PM me and I will absolutely promise not to give it to anyone else. I will, however, be happy to become your ally if you can prove to me that you do currently work NCAA and HS basketball.
Also, why do you keep ducking the question about the NFHS rule books? It's a simple yes or no answer. The more you keep ducking the answer, or finding "cute" responses to the question, the more people believe you really don't have a copy. Which then leads to the issue of your credability when it comes to rules and opinions. I can sit a room full of doctors, and give my opinions on surgical techniques. And I can say I have a right to my opinion. But how much credence will they give me, given I have not even seen a medical textbook, much less studied one? We all know the answer to that. My opinion in that case is wothless, no matter how much I might feel I'm correct. That situation applies to your opinions here as well. You certainly have a "right" to express them, but without credability, they are worthless. |

Also, I'm going to give you some advise. Feel free to toss it in the trash after reading it. There should be no difference in the way you work a AAU game or any game for that matter, then the way you would work a college DI game. If you aspire to work DI college, every game you work must be like this. That's why you hear a lot of officials that work these upper level games say they don't want to work the lower level games anymore because it ruins there mechanics. Me and you, we got to work these lower level games to get there. It's important to tailor your game towards the highest level and then work it, work to get there. That way, if you where to be so lucky to get DI, you don't have to change anything major in your game. |

1) Not by the usual definition of "officiating", which includes training, rules knowledge, certification, etc. He is a rec-league traffic cop/babysitter. 2) Casual rec leagues <b>only</b>. 3) Per one of his old posts, over 10,000 games in 15 years. Do the math. 4) Not only does he not have a current copy of the FED rule or case book or manual, he has <b>never</b> had a copy of any of those publications. Why are y'all wasting so much time on this clueless troll?:confused: |
