If that is what you are saying, how do you know? Did you hear what was said? Did you know what was said earlier?

Peace

Counselor, it's the truth and the whole truth. Why did you assume it was just involving one player?

I did not assume anything. You did not say it happen on every play or multiple times. You described a situation as if it was one event or something that was possibly rare.

Honestly if you were put off by the actions, I can tell you that there are people that might not have a problem with the situation. And that is why you had multiple people here have a different position than you did.

Once again, none of us was there. You were there. But if you said this was a playoff game (and at this time of year it was a rather high assignment) they must be doing something right. This is one of the hardest playoff periods to get whether it is boy's or girl's basketball by any official. If this was a common action by the official in question, it is clear it did not hurt that official in the past.

We are just going to have to disagree on this one unless you can give some video or a picture that might shed some light on what did or did not happen in more detail.

On an oft occasion I have used the infamous "stare down" on Rec Parents!

Yep. When mom or dad shoots their mouth off real loud for everyone in the gym to hear and I'm standing right there, I have turned and given "the stare" and found it has worked very effectively in the few cases I have employed it. Mom or dad are usually embarrassed and realize their next comment may be from the parking lot...... Just my $.02.

Sounds fair.
