Wow, Did I just see that!

Excellent, but you really could've said THAT 16 posts & a whole page ago

Man it's almost been a year since we got down like this, but here we go again. And this time I just asked a question... oh wait a minute, that's what I did before too

This is what raised my concerns:

Called a push at the spot, and
answered kids question with a tap to the chest (mine)
as I go to report.

And you could have known that already, but then again this is another one of your huffy and puffy moments, which you tend to get when someone does not adhere to your demands.

You are supposed to be a veteran and you do not know what signal to give on a foul? Even if you do not know what signal to give, no one really cares. The only people that will likely care is the coach and even then they will complain no matter what you do if they do not respect you or if they feel you are not experienced. It is clear by reading many threads here recently, if you have been around a long time you can signal damn (even the wrong signals) near anything and they will still get games and still work where they want to. Is it that hard to know this already?

{This is where I get off} you sir may have the last word, life is too short.

Anybody with half-way decent reading/writing skills can see where the problem lies.

Well you are not a rookie and being "certified" I am sure does not have the same value as it does here and means little or nothing in the bigger picture.

And if life is too short, why are you getting worked up on a discussion board?

Learn to not ask "rookie" questions and you will get more concise answers.

To each his own.
