I totally and completely disagree.

If a fellow official is wrong. EXPLAIN IT TO HIM! If he still doesn't get it, EXPLAIN IT AGAIN!

Guys like this make all of our jobs more difficult. When they say something stupid and we don't attempt to correct them, we only add to the problem!

Completely my fault. I misread the post and thought the coach was saying this.

I withdraw my previous statement.

*facepalm*

I was working 2-man a couple years ago and my partner raised his eyebrows and gave a funny look after I made a call. Now, this guy was supposed to be one of the best in the area (especially in his mind) and he gives me disapproving looks during the game. I never said anything but I learned that some who are perceived as good officials are not exactly team players. He definitely did not make it easy for his partner to work with him.

What I thought of was WHY was he looking into my area?

We have an assigner and instructor in our area who's teaching incorrectly. He wants a block when the defender has LGP and steps back to absorb the impact of an opponent. His rationale: "he gave up his spot on the floor."

Probably too late to address the issue this season in an association meeting...

Lord Byron,
Had one of these a few nights ago.
I passed on the call, because by the time the defender, who had perfect position, stepped back [and kinda flopped], there wasn't enough contact to call.

That's a good no-call, Sir Mick. My complaint concerns the play where the dribbler goes right through the defender's chest, and this instructor is telling people to call a block because the defender (with LGP) took a step back.
