So you treated all five alike. I'm all for that.

I fouled out a player tonight as well. And when I called that foul, I made sure it was there. Just like I made sure every other call I made that night near the end of the game was there. And no I do not treat all parts of the game the same, because they are not treated the same by everyone participating. But then again I have been told I have pretty good judgment, so it is not hard for me to focus near the end of the game and call what is truly there instead of what might not be there or is terrible. But that is me, it may not be you.

Peace

Why, are you anti-pedantic?

Sometimes a well-placed distinction permits people to see that an apparent disagreement is really about different concepts, which allows both sides to be right about their own concept. Then everybody wins.

I fouled out several players last night. Wasn't aware, until after the fact, that any of the players had four. Nobody complained on any of them. So, did I make a point of making sure the fifth fouls were "good ones?" No. It just took care of itself, as it should.

All I can say is: Huh?

And I knew last night and it has been an issue in the past. So what changed by using your logic? Absolutely nothing. And that is the point.

What, specifically, has been an issue?

Do not worry about it. Do what you do and I will do what I do.

Officials don't foul out players. Players foul out.

Just tryin' to speak the language. It's a challenge.

Just don't use the word "baseline". I made that mistake once and I'm still in physical therapy.
