I've never seen anyone go without that wasn't cocky, didn't act that way, didn't call attention to themselves in other ways.

It is what it is...BIG TIMING...and it shows.

Well, I can't speak for the folks you've seen. But the 2 fellas of whom I speak don't come off that way. If they did I wouldn't have them as mentors.

You based this on 2 people?! I guess if you talked to a blonde girl who wasn't very bright you'd also say that all blondes are dumb. Way to generalize

Show me where I said two?

You are obviously blond, after all you mis-spelled it twice and screwed up who wrote about two mentors.

Just because you can't do it, don't hate on others who can. I got news for you, most cocky officials are cocky with a lanyard and without. Trust me I'm one of em.

There's a big difference between being cocky and being confident in one's ability as an official. It's easy to confuse the two sometime.

In my experience, most if not all good officials have that confidence in themselves.

There's a difference between can't and don't want to, just like there's a difference between having presence and trying to draw attention to yourself.

Was at a game today that 2/3 went without one and they always seemed to have their had at their mouth grabbing the whistle - usually during live ball situations. Even dropped it on the foor a couple of times. Never saw it before today and was very distracting, I thought.

Well add this to your database.

I happen to know a long time HS official who is not the least bit a cocky bigtimer in ANY part of his life, even though he has every damn reason to be.

Oh yeah, and he doesn't use a lanyard.

Go figure... :shrug:

btw, blonde is how we English speakers spell the French word blond.
