Grow a pair, have some courage, and sign your name at the bottom of your letter.

I've been officiating college basketball for many years now and have never been happy with the number of assignments I've received. No one ever is. My suggestion to you: stop whining and get better! Joe Forte has more courage and integrity in his little pinky than you do in your whole body. I hope Kyle sees your letter for what it is, a coward's way of complaining and, taking a cheap shot at someone behind the safety a computer.

Sign your name or do us all a favor and go away.....

This isn't about a number of games. It is about how Forte interjected HIS personal feelings on referees who worked the lockout. Plain and simple, that is unprofessional and lacks integrity.

Who cares what my name is...that is NOT the issue here. I have a pair when I have my whistle in my mouth...that's for sure! LOL

Wow - looks like someone has some serious emasculation issues. Maybe this is why there is such controversy with refereeing these days!

Wow, look at all these people registering just to vote in this poll never to be heard from again. Including the OP.

I don't consider the NBA officials to be part of some brotherhood, to be honest. Personally, I would prefer if NASO and other national organizations put some everyday HS and small college people in their leadership rather than a bunch of names who forget what it's like to drive 100+ miles to work a $55 game in front of 500 people.

I do not disagree with you. I may not ever post again on another topic, but I am a regular reader. I felt this issue should be brought up...but it's okay if people want to personally attack me. These are the same guys who the NBA did not call and feel some debt to NBA officials. Why? They don't care about NCAA or HS referees.

I was going to make the same observation. What a curiosity though it does go to show that this forum reaches a pretty wide audience.
