Maybe he's against a certain college in Michigan?:

Perhaps he had a bad experience in Wisconsin:

Or, perhaps he's against adoptees in general:

Therefore, you would not know the unique difference in the rule.

I'm sorry JMO, but whether you adjudicated the situation correct or not, you are a very scary official.

I corrected the typo in my original post. BUT, from personal experience contact with a ball can be very satisfying. :eek:

Obviously you do not know the "unique difference" between touching the ring/basket and grasping the ring/basket? Therefore, I'll just tell you that first is legal, while the second is not.

So, you actually screwed up TWICE on this play. Not only did you fail to administer the technical foul that you called properly, something which you now say that you are aware, but you were in fact also WRONG to assess it in the first place, and clearly you aren't aware of this error.

Once again...http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...es/roflmao.gif

Actually, the laughs on you because what did we do? We went double technical, jump ball. So you can laugh all you want. What I wanted to happen, happen! http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...es/roflmao.gif

Scary thought isn't it? Another thing that I'm sure nobody thought of but me. The player I gave the T to was a deep bench player. The coach had his starting players in a huddle while the rest of the pack was still coming off the floor. As they say in the Guiness beer commericals, brillant, brillant! Why don't all you referee haters go have a Guiness brew on me. Take a break off all the hating, and don't worry, I'm human, I will make another mistake on the court and I might even share it with you so you can point out the mistake to everyone and feel complete. Brillant! Brillant!!!!

Yup, you made it happen, for sure. I hate to break it you though, but the rules won't allow you to call a double technical foul in that situation either. The only scary thought is that one day somebody might make a biiiiiig mistake and put you on a real game. Of course, the good thing is that nobody would probably notice that you screwed up again anyway in the rec leagues that you do.

Double technical fouls, by definition, can only happen when two opponents commit technical fouls <b>against each other</b> at approximately the <b>same</b> time.

And if you've ever heard of the term "simultaneous technical fouls", fuggedaboutit. That ain't gonna fly either. What you did isn't allowable by rule.

Silly monkey. You keep trying but it's tough to do something by the rules when you don't own any rule books. No wonder everybody is always http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...es/roflmao.gif at you.

What's a "brillant"? Is that an ant wearing a Brillo pad? Brilliant you ain't. ;)

Oh yeah - I don't know what a "commerical" is either. Is that a commercial they show only in California? :confused:

No, we're still laughing at you. :p

That's simply classic! :D

Either:
1. Your area is desparate for varsity officials.
or
2. You're lying. I can't imagine any varsity official I know who carries such a juvinile attitude. Rainman is an official, "I want to have a jump ball. Definitely, I want to have a jump ball. Sometimes, Dad lets me throw the toss in the driveway."

Yea, that's happen quite a bit. To the tune of about 120 last season along. Here's the ironic thing, all of the games ended normally, no controverscy, just normal! Amazing isn't it. Amazing that a guy can get over a hundred varsity hs and college games and not own a rulebook. You know what, it's time for me to start taking some credit of my own. I'm good, no, I'm damn good because i have never cheated on the HS test, and I pass it every year without a rulebook. Damn I good, thanks for pointing that out.

Enough arguing with you guys today. Got real work to do....I'm out
