Well, I was totally joking, but I do see a serious point behind this joshing. I think having the attitude that everyone's out to get you makes it more difficult to have a good game. Even when they ARE out to get you (which I'm not sure they always are), usually there are ways to cut through the antagonistic stuff and have a more collaborative front. Especially coaches and players need to learn to see refs as being less enemies and more as neutral or objective. That attitude will grow more when you can have it, too. I'm not saying your feelings of paranoia are wrong, just that it's better for you to try to fight them.

I understand your point, don't get me wrong most of the coaches know me well and have a very professional relationship on and off the court. Although there are some coaches that just have that wall no matter what.

Just add a 'u' somewhere. You can choose where.

Wait a minute there, Mr. Furry Nads. That's kinda looks like that misogny thingy that I've heard sooooooooooo much of lately. As Shakespeare(or was it me?) once said "A revaeb by any other name......". And you know what happened to Shakespeare(and me).

Now you're in for it.

Well, not from me. Girls and boys in Oregon learn early on to deal with the 5th grade giggling that comes with the word "beaver". By the time we grow past the mental and emotional age of 12, it's pretty much gone. Of course, there are a few of us who never grow up... but that's more an item for pity and condescension than reprimand. You poor, poor little boys!

Does that mean if I call Dan a "beaver", you won't get mad?

Why confused? Is that an insult? Is it belittling? Would Dan be a discredit to the state of Oregon? He can be a Beaver if he wants to!
