The game of basketball has a rhythm unlike any other game. Baseball is slow, football is too choppy, but basketball has rhythm and flow. What's so wrong about my comments

Basketball might have a flow. There is nothing that says there must be flow. There is nothing says that we are solely responsible for that flow. If you have to call 100 fouls because the teams are doing illegal things, then you have to call a 100 fouls. Good officials recognize when they need to stay out of the way and when they need to get involved a lot.

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

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.

This is a very telling statement on your part. I do not recall that anyone mentioned or suggested that you had to look for glory to be noticed. And that is why I said people that make that statement really do not understand officiating. And I gave an example where an official was simply doing his job and he was noticed for what was seen by some as a negative thing. And it did not appear that he needed or asked to be glorified for making the right call.

Peace

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.

I do not know what your comments here have to do with the overall statement you made earlier. I did not question why you got into officiating, I simply said that if you believe what you stated, you do not know a lot about officiating and neither do the people that repeat that statement.

Peace
