Really? While I am measuring the width of the side panels on the teams uniforms I will be sure and mention it...HA HA

So what do you recommend doing, after instructing the coach to have his team adhere to the rule and he totally ignores you?

I'm certainly not going to eat sh!t from him all night like you apparently will, junior.

Don't take Nevada's posts too personally. He's been known to refer to people as cowards and tyrants.

His point is valid on this issue in particular, though. The rule is there for a reason, to keep the teams separated during their timeouts. If the coach is allowed to have his TO wherever he pleases outside the prescribed limits, then the officials aren't doing their jobs. You're paid to officiate the entire game, including during timeouts. Do you just let them linger for an extra five seconds after the 2nd horn of a TO? No.

As a Soldier in the Army I spend long periods away from home. I am in horrible place, and asked at times to possibly due equally horrible things. Having said that I use officiating as a way to decompress. Equally I play the devils advocate and maybe have a misplace sense of humor. When I apologised I was sincere. I will take nothing personnally, either here or on the basketball court. I actually enjoy the banter with players, coaches, and the occasional fan.

As other posts have said in this and other threads - take it as you wish and don't be overly sensitive.

I have been in heated discussions here too - and have learned to move on. It's ok to be passionate about a position, call, interpretation or whatever. However, sometimes I too don't write properly (emails too), my humor or sarcasm gets misinterpreted, emphasis is misplaced, etc. You've apologized and are sincere. Good for you!

On a side note - as a reitred Soldier - thank you for your service and be safe!

There are things that can be looked the other way on and then things that need to be addressed. This would be the latter IMHO. Would it go so far as a T? Probably not unless the coach wanted it to, but it would be addressed. You can't have teams setting up shop in front of the table, period.

So there just running around all crazy for 30 to 60 sec? My guess is this is being blown out of proportion. Or at the very least is an major exception the the rule as is usual on here. Got to get it to the nats' *** everytime. Good luck!
