A lesson that would you should take to heart yourself. Spare us the lecture. This post drips of hypocrisy.

OS:

You do not have to be a rules scholar to use correct terminology if you are a basketball official and you claim to be a basketball official. I expect my basketball officiating students to use correct terminology from the very beginning of their very first class. The terminology is very easy to learn. You will find the vast majority of the terminolgy that you need in Rule 4 in both the NFHS and NCAA rules books. Rule 4 is entitled Definitions. Study them and learn them by heart. Lack of knowledge of definitions gets officials in trouble the vast majority of the time no matter what the sport being officiated.

Mark, your willingness to help and your patience with OS is admirable. But he's not a ref. He's never been a ref. He's not here to learn. He's here ONLY -- and I truly believe this -- ONLY to cause trouble and get a rise out of people. He adds not one thing of value to this forum. His only contributions are misinformation, lies and confusion for newer officials. His account should be pulled immediately. Not after review. Immediately.

If we can't do that, then I request that I be made a moderator and volunteer to delete every single post he makes as soon as I see them.

It's been requested -- several weeks ago. Interestingly, for a while after the request, the tone of his posts changed. I think he even used the phrase, "I learned something from this thread." It might just be coincidence.

And, old school, lest you think this is personal, I have deleted and edited many,many posts containing personal insults toward you.

Ummm, I can vouch for the veracity of both of the posts made previous to this one.
