The dark side's influence is everywhere. The Emperor's forces have started to open the door, oh yes the dark side has allowed us to bounce balls to players instaed of hand it in every time. One of these day's the long switch may lose itself to the evil one. Interrupted dribble is dangerously close to the evil side's "loose ball"

Be careful of it's influence. You might forget to put your hand up on a violation, or make an OOB call by pointing straight out (without the hand up stopping the clock). You might not bird dog every play. You might call the OOB on the lead's line when he is watching off ball and it skips out above the FT line extended. You might not make it to the sacred alter of the reporting box to report your foul. You might not put your fist up when calling a player control foul...
On no where's Yoda, and Obi-wan when we need him to ward off the forces of the dark side...

if this is indeed a correct description of the darkside, then i am a Darth, Lord of Sith. though i feel i am a portrayer of good and everything that is good therefor i am a Jedi Knight. a Jedi named..............Skywalker

Ok guys, I will "fess" up and say I started the whole "dark side" comments and yes I was refering to the Star Wars movies. I think somebody else felt I was talking about something else at one point, due to their post. Funny and good stuff to read on a Friday for sure!!!

Have good games this weekend. I am looking forward to having a great game and experience this Saturday.

Regarding the Star Wars stuff, don't get too excited the next Star Wars "Episode" as they call them isn't due out until this summer, so be PATIENT!!!

They should add this to the officiating lines.

Referee the defense
Trust your partners
Call the obvious
Stay in your primary and......
USE THE FORCE!!!!

may the force be with you......this weekend during your games.

and with you...

I'm on a cell phone modem; I'm already in line for the new Star Wars!!!!

NOT!!!! :D

Good day to you, sir!

Obi-Wan-Ref: "There is no such thing as an over-the-back."
Coach: "No over the back foul."

OWR: "Stay in the coach's box."
C: "I will stay in the coach's box, or, if it is not approved by my state association, I will remain seated on the bench."

This could be a wonderful system!

DeNucci is right again!!
Pistol

So in all of this I guess DeNucci is the Emperor? Or is he Yoda.

Maybe Pistol can tell us. Pistol could be the Dirth or Young Skywalker.

Never saw the movie.

I see DeNucci as Yoda. Not because of the age and mixed up sentences (:D) but because he has mentored and taught so many other refs.

Your missing a classic. I would suggest some nasty cold or wet rainy weekend renting all of them. They are classic non-ficiton movies.

Of course I would also promote any of the Boston Celtic vs. 76ers matchups in the 80's between Bird and Dr. J.

No wonder why coaches don't read their rulebooks. They think the book is a work of fiction!!
