BTW, Football can constantly move if you have the right teams running the ball and keeping the ball in bounds. Baseball can go very fast if everyone is swinging a pitches or the pitcher is throwing strikes. There are no absolutes in sports and this is why your comments do not show knowledge whom ever they come from. ![]() Peace

![]() Peace[/QUOTE] If, if, if, if. Look I'm not saying you're wrong, what I'm arguing is that basketball is a more definite flow. There's always exceptions to every rule. We're getting away from the original point of the article though. Officials shouldn't be looking for glory. |

Did you read the linked thread in the OP? The link was to a thread on a different forum about getting told we do a good job after a game. That is not why I got into officiating, I don't know about you.

Well when you said "they say" I thought you meant "they" and not "I"....but I guess if you actually believe that then you really don't understand officiating.
"They say that you know a game is well-officiated when you seemingly don't even notice the refs are there." That is just wrong. Many times the officials must take actions which will make them be noticed. That thought is just a myth spread by fanboys. "The game has a certain rhythm to it, and the refs are part of that rhythm. If the rhythm is disrupted, that's when people start complaining about the officiating." Quote:
I'm not even sure what the rhythm of a game even means. But I think you are talking about officials sounding their whistles many times and stopping play. Some games have lots of fouls and/or violations; in order for the game to be officiated properly the officials will have to break the rhythm many times. Stop worrying about noticing officials. Many times they will have to do things which will make them be noticed. Stop worrying about rhythm of the game. If there is a foul then call it. If there is a violation then call it. |

The fact of the matter is, if the refs do a good job, then the game will have a much better flow and rhythm. |
