I say that because the other official TOLD ME that the coach came over and told him that. Don't get me wrong, I sincerely appreciate all feedback I get from other offiicals, especially ones who have reached his level...my comments were not towards that official, they were towards the coach who made that comment to him without clarifying what led up to the situation...and I did explain the situation to this other official, like I said he seemed to come around to understand why I did what I did, but I wasn't completely sure just by his body language....which was a little suprising actually...

WTH is an official doing questioning a judgment call in the middle of the game? Offering unsolicited advice to a perfect stranger? Just say "thank you."

I suppose that is a fair question...I just took it as a guy with a lot of experience trying to help out someone who he thought didn't have any....he thought wrong in that regard, but like I said I am always willing to listen to input from anybody at any level really...and I did end the conversation with "thank you", although I didn't stare at his pants
