Does this constitute fighting ?

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...

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!

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 against each other at approximately the same 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 at you.

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

I have a couple of suggestions on the states...

State of Confusion, which is just south of the State of Intoxication, which by the way does not border the State of Matrimony, but driving thru that state may drive you to Intoxication. Dont forget there is the State of Felicity which is near the State of Bliss (no relation to FT Bliss in Texas). There is the State of Stupor, , or State of Utter Ridiculousness, which most likey is near the State of Undress, that leads to the State of Humor.

The State of Nirvana maybe close by, but we could not be that lucky because the state of Anger is on that freeway, just prior to the State of Total Lack of Logic (or is that common sense?---- sorry lost my geography book, and my GPS is not programmed)

Just to State the Obvious..

Your next high school varsity game will be your first one.

And your first high school varsity game will be your last one.

High school/college ain't rec league, Toto.

You don't think that anybody really believed you, did you?

Although now that I think about it, I have to admit, he didn't say it was the NFHS test. And he didn't define "pass". Nor "cheat"....

I would bet the "HS" test he passes is the one for underwater basket weaving.

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?
