I see that you are at it again.

Why don't you just focus on yourself?

... and if everybody did just that? This board would be a pretty quiet place, for one.

With all due respect NV -- and I do mean that having truly appreciated your various views and interpretations here -- I hear what you're saying but it's hard to knock a guy for trying to help others. Especially having walked in their shoes at one time.

Why advise someone to live by a creed you don't live by? If you focused on yourself, you would never post answers or opinions to anyone's questions.

When it comes to this particular poster there is more to the story.

He previously posted on this forum that he sat courtside with his assignor at a scrimmage in which they laughed at and made a very negative comment about the officials who were out there on the floor.
I can't seem to find this post now. Perhaps he deleted it.

Furthermore, he admits to purposely throwing a partner under the bus to the coaches during a game.
"...hung him out to the coaches do with as they please."
" Effort -Skills Challended" Partners II

He seems to have plenty of knowledge about basketball officiating, but due to these actions, I have to question whether he is a proper individual to be evaluating and training officials. I don't care how many college games he works.

at least you had the courtesy to put the post up - where I describe the effort that I made to work with him - talk to him and see that he wants no help before I let him take the take the grief for his lack of effort in calling the game.
and asking posters for opinions if maybe there might have been a better way to deal with with the guy?
I am just getting into the teaching end of officiating and working with some people who do things in different manners as well as remembering the things that my original instructors used to teach me 25 plus years ago.
So I will use all tools available to me - and ask opinions as to better ways to do things sometimes on this forum - as a part of my learning process and growth as an insturctor and an official.

Nev - you have a great knowledge of the rules of the game - usually you can quote the chapter and the subsection, and that is great thing.
But if you have nothing to offer but personal attacks on something let it go address the content of the post not the person posting.

Freudian slip or how about a spelling slip?
