And just b/c a player is "one-and-done" and/or a poor student doesn't mean he doesn't bust his a$$ in practice or on his own.

It may have more to do with a preponderance of junior colleges in SOCAL than anything else.

Just sayin'.

If you asked around SoCal you would know that in 2007 an official got hired in D1 after officiating high school for 3 years and another after 5 years. I know of at least 5 more that got hired for JC last year after working for 3 or 4 years. But, whatever.....

How many years did you personally officiate before you made D1 ball?

Cool, another Hillary voter.

Must be tough running from the locker room to the gym floor dodging that sniper fire.

Next time I post something stupid, make an error, or you guys decide to jump on my a$$ (which happens occasionally), I'm gonna use this. Thanks Socal! Brilliant!! Count me in too! ;)

By the way I've worked with John Shepard and Vince Kristosik amongst others. John is a great guy.

Wow, that was the least charitable of the options I considered in trying to explain your posts.

For example, your spelling of "inaccurate"? I guess it worked. ;) Misspelling "inaccurate" is about as funny as misspelling "misspelling".

I notice that you didn't say "a plethora of GOOD officials."

Just saying...

Aren't you a D1 official? Or is there some compelling reason for not saying?

Actually, I'm assuming that you're a fairly new official that (a) isn't very rules knowledgeable but tries to cover it up with a pile of bafflegab (b) might do a few JC or D3 games solely because of availability for the plethora of games, and (3) hasn't attained a solid high school varsity schedule yet-one where he get state playoff games assigned.

I'd bet that my prediction is closer than what you claim. :)

And doing that meets the very definition of a "troll", socal.

When you're wrong, it might be better off to admit that you were rather than make up excuses like "Oh, I deliberately made a wrong post to spur discussion." We're all wrong at times. When you pull nonsense like that, and then freely admit doing so, is it any wonder people question your veracity?

Jmo.....

I fixed it for you.

Is there any special reason that you won't confirm that you actually are a D1 official?

Also, by your own admission, <b><i>"I will post inaccurate info to get responses"</i></b>, how do we know that your post above is truthful? How do we know when <b>ANY</b> of your posts are truthful?

You worked almost 5000 games in your first seven years? <b>ALMOST FIVE THOUSAND GAMES? IN SEVEN YEARS?</b> OK.:)

Larry, I think he's <s>lying</s> offering a different view again.

Are you serious or is this just more discussion-provoking?
