Then again, you think GM is just about calling fouls remember (which many people told you how wrong you were).

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.

I am only talking to you because I get a certain level of entertainment out of it. I do not need to dance around anything. What ever I think, my life will not change as a result either way. And I had every opportunity to ask Welmer the questions I wanted to when he talked about this in detail. I personally am not going to share what I think to someone that knows every damn thing.

Would you agree that he want's Game Management started by his crew on the very first call of the game?

No not really. It’s an honest question. I’m trying to get this GM stuff figured out.

(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?

That was funny!

In and of itself, the video is pointless. Are you suggesting we start every game by looking for a home foul before we find a visitor foul? Is that what you are calling good game management? The video makes no sense in the context it was presented to us.

If you simply call the fouls you see, everything will work itself out.

And the more you get right, the better game manager you will be also.

Smitty gets it.
