If a game could go into OT if you call a T.

That is a good reason, n'est pas?

If youth is overplayed, so is how old you are. We are not in a position to get all upset if someone wants to officiate. We need all the good people regardless of age to work games.

Started this year at 57. Registered as an applicant with my state board...just a few years of youth league rec ball for experience. Have learned a great deal from this forum as a supplement to the Rule Book, Case Book, and Illustrated Basketball Rule book in addition to the classes/clinics my local assoc. requires for new members. Enjoying the beginining of this two year process (providing I pass my test and floor eval. each year) of getting patched to work varsity. Had first game (BJV) lastg night...went well in part to a lot of the "dos and don'ts" I've picked up on here. Thanks for the help..and here's to all the other 50+ newbies taking to the court this season.

Seems to be a lot of this going around. :eek:

If you'd like to switch to German, the equivalent is: nicht wahr?

In Chinese, it's shi bu shi?

Why would I want Padgett to think I am part French?

Too late for you.:D
