As long as I can comprehend what you write I always care.

You do not comprehend what you are writing. You I guess you really do not care.

So, are you saying that you can't understand Rut because of his minor typoes? Seriously?
A bit of advice; pointing out someone's typing errors for the sole purposes of attempting to discredit what they are quite obviously saying isn't going to gain you respect around here. If you don't care about that, fine; I'm just saying.

And you would not understand Welmer's point of view either. I have actually heard Welmer talk about this directly and there was a little more to it than what you posted. So why spend time trying to explain it to you. Then again, smart people can read typos. I read them here all the time and get by just fine. Then again, you think GM is just about calling fouls remember (which many people told you how wrong you were).

Jeff, can you please us more about Welmer's philosophy?

All he said is if you have a close play, give the early call to the visitor so can let them (visitors) know early they are not getting screwed (I am paraphrasing). I have heard Welmer talk about this the last 3 years and of course there was more detail to the comments. When I heard him talk he used a block/charge reference when giving the percentages as it related to who gets that first call.

To me this comment is no different than what people say about block/charges and the many philosophies people use to help them be consistent in their mind.

Ummm first off I thought it was rather amusing that after I chided Jrut about his typos he has one in his rebuttle. Sorry my humor can be a little off center.

Don't dance around it Jrut. He said make sure at the start of the game you have a no doubter on the visiting team if you are going to call it. A 150% if you will. Do you agree?

BTW don't put words in my mouth. I never once said the Game Management was just about calling fouls. You sure love to do that to people.

I like the thought process. The first call of the game has got to be strong!

I think we have to be aware that road coaches think they aren't going to get a fair shake when they play in someone else's gym. The first call being solid might be the difference between having a coach all over the crew or not.

Who cares if I agree? I am not Welmer and I do not work on national TV every single game. Unlike some people here, I know my place.

Know my place?? Wow... Sorry... somebody certainly is an elitist.

Keep dancing around the question Jrut. For a person with such strong conviction you certainly don't want to answer this one.

I for one agree w/ what Steve has to say. He's the best there is at "Game Management" and it starts with him from the first call of the game.

(Disclaimer: I am not JR, nor do I think I can play him on TV. However, I'll give it a shot.)

What a load of bull-pucky. Why not make all your calls strong calls? Why not strive to make all of them correct? What is being 150% correct, anyway? What if you're only 137% correct? Should you not make the call then? If so, what about 123%? 109%? 101.275%?

Not that I'm chiding you, but the word is "rebuttal".

Or is that one of those typo thingys that I've heard so much about lately?

Whatever though ....it is rather amusing.

Keyboard Management?

Only type words you are 150% sure of?
