Legal pick?

Then stop telling people what needs to be called based on the violence of the contact. If it is a foul it is a foul. If it is not, it should be passed on. It is that simple. When you tell people that the violence of the contact has to be addressed and you are sending the wrong message. And that is the point and why I disagree with all this "game management" mess and "the game is going to get out of hand" crap.

BTW, I have seen the referenced and I have attended the meetings as well. I do not need a link to something I have already seen.

Game management crap??? Hmmm I tend to think it's a very important part of my officiating duties on the floor. Hard fouls can lead to games getting out of hand. At least where I work. It's called retaliation and it's a very common thing.

So like I've said countless times this hard foul needs a whistle not only because it's a foul, but to control the game. That's game management in my book and "crap" in yours I guess.

As far as the link goes we all know you are the Grand Poo-bah of officiating. It was for others who may not have seen it.

You do not base game management on one call. And often you do not use game management practices only on what you call once. Did you hear of a fight during this game?

Then say it is a foul, what might happen as a result is not your concern. And if it is and you know how to officiate the entire game, you might not even need to call another foul. That might be a little over your head (sounds like it). Officials, whom pick one foul out of a game and start talking about game management, are the ones that really do not understand the concept. It is called “game management” not “one call management.”

We have no idea what happen before and no indication that anything got out of hand after the “non-call.” If you have such a link, then feel free to show evidence this game went into the tank (article, foul counts, technical fouls will all do).

It is clear you know little or nothing about officiating, or you would not be talking about game management in the context you are. BTW, college officials already are fully aware of the links to these and it has been posted several times on this site. Did you just stumble on the site?

You may not be able to base game management on one call, but you can certainly lose it on one call.

Will somebody please translate this for me? I guess it's over my head because I progressed past 5th grade english class. I have no idea what you are saying, but I think it was if I call a foul correctly the players may realize I know how to call that and they won't do it again. Let me write that down in my rule book because I don't see it anywhere.

Just imagine how good I'll be once I do learn how to officiate.

Was there a fight in this game? Did the game get out of hand? It sounds like to me that they got through it without much incident and nothing was called. Funny how things like that take place. (And I am sure that went completely over your head).

I know it is difficult to understand logic for you. You might have progressed pass 5th grade English, but you have not progressed passed Junior High Philosophy. If you cannot understand that this is just one call in one game without trying to add factors the game that are completely irrelevant then you might understand something.

When you realize you can call a foul without all the other BS concerns, then you will learn how to officiate. It either is a foul or it is not a foul. Who gives a damn about the situation on a play like this? Once again, the official on this game passed and I never heard of a game between these two teams turning into a fight. I guess this no-call was good game management.

Peace

One last time.

1) There was an illegal screen on this play. A whistle should have been blown. The "T" official was in error.

2) From a "Game Management" standpoint I feel this play needed a whistle. I'm not going to pass on fouls like this ever. By passing on this call, this game or any game could have the possibility to get out of hand.

3) Pile on me all you want. I come here to learn, but I'm also not going to back down from what I think is right and what I have learned. My philosophy has worked for me so far and it seems to be right in line w/ others who I pattern my game after.

Not everything is black and white. I'm not going to get into this debate right now, but end of game situations are a glaring example of it.

If you come here to learn, you have a lot to learn.

Also understand that many of the people that disagree with you completely believe in the concept of game management. The problem is you are too stubborn to understand how they apply the logic.

This is also not a black and white discussion. Actually the only person making this conversation black and white is you. People have challenged your position on "game management" and you will not budge off of that logic. And you were not even astute enough to realize that I subscribe to game management philosophies, but disagree with how that applies on this situation.

If you want to keep taking about this be my guest. But this is two times you have made a complicated issue into a very narrow situation with a narrow solution. Now I know.

mu4scott:

You say that you are coming here to learn and then refuse to learn. If the contact is legal, no matter how bad it looks, it is NOT a foul. Calling it a foul when it is NOT a foul is NOT good game management; it is incorrect officiating. Rut and I are not piling on you; but we are telling you the correct way to do things.
