Maybe NFHS should require a sign in flashing lights on the gym wall with the Lincoln quote: "It's better to remain silent and thought a fool than open one's mouth and remove all doubt."

disregarding that advice myself right now ! all the high schools put out sportsmanship rules of behavior , booing, cursing, etc. seems like they should eject some of the biggest mouths a few times for the worst stuff. my son and i left the home team side last night and sat across the gym because imo they are notorious for their big mouth opinions, and really embarassing to be around . even though the team went all the way last year.

The ultimate combination: ignorance + bias + no self control + an entitlement complex.

I believe Rob Zombie has referred to that as "ugly American."

Last night BV, team A pressed most of the night. Team B had a lot of success breaking the press and scoring. There were a lot of near miss block attempts and I think A players must have slapped the backboard at least a half dozen times. Each time, the same very helpful voice was heard:

"That's a tech! He can't slap the backboard!"

I don't think it works to try to educate unless you know them personally. .......... last year watching a game prior to my daughter's. Official calls backcourt violation- player jumped from back court, caught pass from teammate in front court (still in air). This guys goes nuts ..... turns to me and says " can you believe that ; where are they getting theses guys, they are HORRIBLE ". He had been obnoxious the whole game so instead of just keeping my mouth shut I said (nicely) that these two officials are probably two of the best in the area and that they got the call right. He reallly didnt' like that and the conversation just went down hill....... got to the point where he was getting personal with me and we ended up having a few choice words. I walked away .............. tough to do and vowed NEVER to try and educate someone I don't know.
