Where did I say I wanted the responsibility of determining.... If you read the thread, you would know this is not the case.

Great for you and your 40 game schedule. Talk to me when you log over 300 per year.

Oh and by the way, grow up.
Who wants 300 games? My God, I *hate* off-season basketball.

I work from late-November to early-March and then it's time for college and high school baseball. I haven't worked a single basketball game since March, which is why I missed this thread. Football season just ended for me Tuesday night.

You are the Johnny-come-lately here, not me, BTW. See the upper right? Over 7 years and 4100 posts. I'm just late arriving to a thread.

I couldn't possibly care if someone is or was a coach. Coaching is the coach's job. I'm an official. I want my partner to think like an official 100% of the time.

Too many coach-become-official types are the ones that won't whack a coach because "he understands the pressures" or won't make a call on the last possession because "he wants to let the players decide the game." Or he'll show up and be friends with everyone from the athletic director to the coaches. Who needs someone with that kind of baggage?

If you don't want to read it, don't open the thread. It's really that simple.

You know what's in this thread, Juulie. What you see is what you get. Besides, my season is almost a month away.

Is that an enhanced form of "pathetic?"

Probably not. But I'm not really interested in anyone telling me what to post and not post about. Well, okay...maybe a moderator.

If you don't want to read or post, then just don't. But leave the rest of us out of it.

Oh, btw....shut up.

Hey, that claim is not unlike what others claim here...that it is a "Varisty" game merely because it involves a player that is varsity-aged...but not necessarily varsity-skilled. There are those that refer to rec-league games as varsity games.

No, he differentiated between varsity, sub-varsity, and AAU/rec league stuff. Nice try, though.

Then maybe he's counting quarters...you know they're just mini-games within the overall game? Or maybe even counting 4 minutes sub-quarters as games!

I am so bummed out. I don't know how I missed this thread. Oh the fun I could have had posting in this thread. I am so depressed, .

And why haven't BlindZebra and Old School made any posts in this thread?

JR:

Did you ever get a response from Francine at the KansasHSAA?
