Don't take offense to what we say here to you, its just lots of experience in similar situations where the OP does not have genuine interest but just want to troll around and waste our time. I am glad you came to a conclusion, and I do appologize if I offended

i knew i was probably mistaken (several people, including officials, not noticing the rules? c'mon), i just couldn't figure it out.

You're the one who wanted me to assume you had the facts right. I didn't think you were lying, I just thought there was something you missed. There was.

FWIW, I'd trust someone who is 35 or 40 over either of your hypothetical examples. My point had nothing to do with your post count, and everything to do with how long you've been at this site (I never mentioned post count, you did) and your statement of, "usually what happens is, you assume the OP is truthful."

You haven't been here long enough to know what "usually" happens. Again, I didn't imply you weren't being truthful, I asked what your source of information was. Your answer should have been, "the announcers."

Not exactly Olby, but it'll do.

Maybe that's because your post reads "Hey -- I caught the NBA making a mistake so basic that even a 24-year old with no experience knows the rule / call" instead of "Can anyone explain what happened at 4:15? Nocioni was given two fouls (a P and a T), but I don't see what he did to earn the T? Is the NBA rule different?"

And, for what it's worth, I believe that you are truthful in reporting what you saw. I do think it's likely that you didn't "see" the whole thing.

no need to apologize, i totally agree. why would anybody troll around and waste somebody's time on here, an officiating forum? best place to do that would be a general forum where there are lots of teens. like i explained, if somebody insults me, and then i defend myself, i refuse to be targeted as the problem, even indirectly. regardless of what people think of my questions, as long as i'm discussing things in a regular/polite manner, the person throwing insults should be targeted, not me.

absolutely. the older the better, that's why i'm here. not calling you guys old, just calling you over 30. i think i made a mistake posting that last part on this thread if i have no beef with you guys. didn't mean to make it sound like i did. it's just in some other threads, a few people on here have really tried to pick a fight with me, so i'm on edge and tend to be looking out for insults, when alls i'm trying to do is discuss things. that's what's great about this forum, is most of you, even when misunderstanding something, don't get all crazy and start throwing insults, whereas on another forum, i would have been flamed multiple times for what i said, even though i didn't insult anybody. so that's a huge reason why i'm here, and why i may discuss things that are possibly not really meant for this forum.

it's just how i talk, and i don't think it's uncommon for people to ask questions in the forum of statements. i take it too far though i guess. i just call it like i see it at the time (and at the time, i was damn sure of what i saw. turns out, in a way, i was 3/4 of a second wrong). the thing is, regardless of if i'm too bold or wrong, people replying with insults and smart *** comments isn't going to make the situation better, that's all i'm saying. i'll try not to be so bold with my statements.

heh. just sayin' i don't think there are many officials under 30. although i'm used to major sports on tv, in which case you rarely see anybody under 30. maybe high school is different, but i imagine the refs are the parents of kids that are in high school, right?

Yes, it is a requirement in fact. I couldn't officiate high school football until my son became a freshman, which was the beginning of last season. I fathered him when I was 9 years old.

These are just the kind of comments that don't make the situation better. I can't believe how mean-spirited you football guys are.
