That block shot signal is not a college mechanic. I think it can be used sometimes (late after the play has ended) to communicate yes I was on this play and yes although it looked ugly there was a blocked shot.
Personally, I think there were other fouls called that were block shots called in the game. Also, too many bail out plays at the rim level called fouls. Finally, way to many "and 1's" on easy plays to the hoop. Other than that, their credibility level is outstanding that is why nobody questions the types of plays I mentioned above. |

Let me put it this way, it is acceptable if the assignor for that conference wants them to do it that way. This is not the NF, they have more leeway. Peace

just a question
here in florida we do not catch much greif for using college born mechanics, and it is actually preferred by our assignor. i guess that makes it difficult for me to understand where you guys are speaking from. could you give some input as to what you are told to do by your supervisors.

I think we need to be mindful of other people's race, I am wondering how many African American officials may have felt that when describing Ted Valentine Rut could have been more professional. Just out of consideration for African Americans I would have liked to see him choose his words a little better. I am not saying he meant any harm in his description of Ted Valentine,I just feel he is respected by other officials on this website and I would hate to have him loose the respect from fellow African American officials.
Love and Respect!

I don't think there's any shame or stigma in being called a black official, if one is, in fact a black official. Just my personal opinion. Of course, I'm not black; so I may just be full of hot air. Chuck |

What I am about to say is not personal at all.
Quote:
I am an educated man. I have a mother who has a Ph.D in Sociology and was the first African-American Chairperson at the University that she still works at. So my understanding of race is very well in hand. I am Black first, African-American second. For your information, Black is my race, African-American is my ethnicity. There is a huge difference. You can look at me and tell the I am Black, but not know that I am African-American. The only thing that makes me African-American is where I was born and where I where I claim citizenship. I know enough Black people that would not claim being African-American at all. And since I know little about exactly where Teddy Valintine was born or what his origin lies, it would be hard for me to just say that he is an African-American. It would be a good bet that he is, but considering that I do not know that for sure, he was the only Black person on the court. I understand that we have gotten so caught up in the PC era that we have lost our good thinking, but there is a big difference between someone's race and someone's ethnicity. Race is the physical color that someone is. Black, white or yellow. I would give the educated terms but I did not read that much in my African American Minor in college . I can be Black and be Nigerian or Canadian or Cuban. But if I a Cuban-American or British-American and you not know my race. Technically you can have African-Americans and they be physically white. Not all Africans are Black. The problem with being PC we have become Politically Stupid in the process. And that is why I am responding to you. You are so worried about offending someone, you do not realize that it would be hard to be an insult from someone that is "probably" no different than I am. Not personal but had to set the record straight. Peace

Duke/Maryland officials
By the way just for the record, Mike Wood is white and so is Jimmy Burr. I however do not know if they are Irish, German, Scottish, Swedish, African American or whatever. I thought I would share this so as to not offend anyone since people were asking only about Valentine.
Can we talk plays/philosophy/rules please and leave the political civil rights stuff for another forum??? Just a suggestion. For the record, I am white and my partners in my game tomorrow night are white and black respectively. I will be sure to ask about their family origins during our pregame discussions!!!! Goodness gracious!!! |

And if you have ever done a game with an All-Black team and an All-white team and the officials are all of one color of one of the teams, you will have to deal with it then. I did a game in the North Central Illinois Conference (home team and all-white) and a Chicago Public League team (visiting team and all-Black team about an hour away from Chicago), you tell me that political considerations was not a factor. Well it was and how it was would surprise you. Peace
