I am not offended that people would disagree at all. However, many seemed to understand and agree with me that something should have been done. It was the misrepresentation and the misunderstanding of the scenario that prompted me to continue this discussion for clarity sake.

Also, I am not trying to justify how I "feel." I am trying to gain an understanding as to how others would handle it. Some clearly indicated they would handle it as I would. Others indicated they would do nothing. I can live with that.

It obvious that others have similar questions as well due to similar threads being started. To characterize one's ability to make fundamental calls based on this scenario is unfair in my opinion.

For the record, I would very much enjoy the opportunity to work with you.

I am not misrepresenting anything. I am responding to what you said and I was not the only person that took a similar position. I am not sure why you are picking on me (maybe because I keep responding to this thread. WWWWHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY???????)?

Rev,

Call what you feel is right. I gave you my opinion, I stand by that opinion and I will continue to voice my opinion in similar fashion. If you feel I do not like what I have to say to you, feel free like many others claim they do and ignore them. I am not the person that is going to hold you accountable for what you call anyway.

Peace

I'll let your post stand as the last word. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this discussion.

My son lives in northern Illinois. He and his wife are expecting our first grandchild. Perhaps when we get up that way to see them, I'll have an opportunity to catch a high school game with you and we can laugh about this. That is, if you ever work in the Joliet area.

I have games in multiple parts of the state. I am working in New Lenox on Friday and in near the Peoria area on Saturday. I will be working in Bloomington around Christmas again; we will just have to see. After all this is a funny conversation to some extent. I did not expect the issues to turn the way they did.

Peace

I am working around Marion, IL (down state) in February of next year. I worked as Assistant Pastor in a church there several years ago, and the Christian school is hosting a tournament that they've asked me to help officiate. I don't get the opportunity to do many Christian school games so I am looking forward to it.

BTW, I was raised in Lincoln, IL and went to college in East Peoria.
