Joey Crawford - "I always wanted to give my son a tech"
 

I wonder if the NBA knew that he would be officiating his son and if they have a problem with it (Especially with Joey's publicity earlier)? It's possible that he got called up right before the game which made it hard to make a switch.

I think you missed that part. Not really his son imo.

Here's pictures of the two of them. Draw your own conclusion.

How embarassing! :o

Yep...I sure kicked that call! :p

And put us right down the path to having to take Genetics 101 as part of our curriculum to become officials! :p

Just cause Joey's white and the son is black doesn't mean he can't be the father. There's a few white guys that have knocked up black women before.

I'm just sayin...

yeah but one has hair and the other doesn't

Lock the thread now, we cannot have any comments about race here. You should know that guys. I am ashamed that anyone is even making jokes about this. :D

Peace

There's always Hair Club for Men! :D

There are groupies that hang outside arenas looking for officials.:D

And there child would not be that dark either.

Just saying..... :D

Peace

Oh you silver tongued devil. You have such a way with words. Sheesh! :eek:

PS - True story. Several yrs ago I was pressed into service to call my son's Rec Game (his grandparents were there too). First "T" I ever gave in my life was on him for slammin the ball in frustration.

PSS - The ride home from the game was pretty quiet.....whoda thunk? :o

You Could Hear Crickets Chirping, In The Daytime ...
 

Low Little League minors, a step above T-ball. Coaches coach a base, and act as a base umpire. I'm the third base coach. My son singles to right field. Next batter singles to right field. First base coach yells to my son to go for third base. I'm yelling, and waving my arms, for my son to round second and come to third. Right fielder cleanly picks up the ball and throws a strike, on a few hops, to third base. I yell, and signal, for my son to slide. He executes a perfect slide, but I still call him out. As grunwar already stated, "The ride home from the game was pretty quiet". Officiating your own kid's game is always a lose, lose, situation, always.

Maybe you meant NBA official Danny Crawford?
It would fit better.

Unless he had a child other than his current wife, he would not look that Joe Crawford either. ;)

Peace

You may want to rephrase that. It implies his current wife is his child. :eek:

That is so incestuous. :eek:

You have not been watching the news lately have you? ;)

Peace

Guess that makes two of us :o

Actually, Danny Crawford may someday be able to T up his son, who had a great career at Naperville and is going to Northwestern.

Any see the Celtics game last night? Joey and company dished out at least 5 technical fouls. (I stopped watching before the end of the game.) I did hear that the talking heads made it a point to agree with numerous calls, including at least one T.

Either the crew went Billy Crystal on Boston, or they were a model of consistency. :D

Or an older, Woody Allen step-child reference perhaps.....?

You'd be surprised. I've seen extremely contrasting pigmentation between parents and their biracial children.

I have too, but not that dark.

Peace

I had the pleasure of calling a "T" on my younger son during an adult rec game (yea, I know) a few years ago. I knew he had a game that night, and he knew I was officiating, but it never dawned on either of us that it would be the same league, as he knew I normally did not do adult league games. (Grunewar, it was at the "Y" in Reston -- don't know if they still have that league. BTW, grunewar and I are in the same association, but don't think we have ever met. I was inactive the last year because of knee problems.) Anyway, I was lead and my son drove the lane and ran right over the defender -- easiest call of the night. Not a peep from my son. After the game (middle of 3), he came over and said "I'll have to call Mom and tell her that I didn't think you would call that on me", and smiled. I smiled right back and told him "I guess I''ll have to tell her that I didn't think you were dumb enough to try it." He just laughed about it.

Neat story, but I don't follow.
