save your thrusts and parries for you leotarded fencing matches.

irony would be ia a american fiba official does a game at the international level when the usa loses (oh wait, this happens all the time now )

perhaps the name of the forum should more accurately be called "american refs who only travel in the tri state area to ref a limited set of rules loosely based on nhfs/ncaa, but we make changes wherever we feel like rules don't adhere to our ball size and intelligence"

just a friendly suggestion!

OK - next time your country is at war, you can have just the French on your side.

Yeah - don't you remember back in 1873 when you were invaded by Liechtenstein? You guys fought for about an hour and a half.

I thought you guys were referring to the burning of the White House by drunken Canadians during the War of 1812 "...and the rockets red glare..."
