Actually, if you really want to be "pissed at an official", get the heck off this board.

This isn't a dig at you, Hunter, your post was very well articulated and you make your point facetiously. Good job. It's a dig at the OP.

I am an official(middle school and JV), but I am also a fan. In fact, I am first an foremost an Alabama Basketball fan. I am the President of our basketball student group and with our close proximity to the court, I have gotten to be on a first-name basis with Doug. He is a nice guy. And while I may not agree with every call that he makes, I know he is just doing his job.

I am on this board both as a young official and as a fan, but you won't see me bashing some official for "hating Alabama" or "costing us a game."

Can we get you off this forum if you're gonna whine like a fanboy?

This thread is worthless... Secondregionbug -- you are going to have to come up with something more substantial to talk about.

Future threads about officials with absolutely no substance will be deleted. I'll leave this one here as an example of what NOT to post.
