Coach K

[OldFanDan]

Am I right in assuming that any and all of the guys who 'hate' DUKE (and Coach Krzyzewski) would turn back any assignments for DUKE games ?

I realize that there will be responses such as 'you just do your job' or 'you don't think about that', 'professionalism comes into play', etc., but if you went to the trouble of joining this 'hate fest' then that bias will always be just below the surface, waiting to erupt.

To take it a step further, wouldn't the honorable thing to do in any case where you didn't 'respect' a coach to call off working any of their games.

In my years of officiating we could blacklist any coach and / or school; I permanently blacklisted one coach (acquaintance from HS ... never got along) and one HS (sodium lights where I just couldn't see right) for over 10 years.

Easier to avoid trouble rather than confront it.

Am I right in assuming that you're the same Dook fanboy who showed up here last March also? And you're still complaining about how nasty we are for dumping on your idol?

Your posts from last year are still on the record, OldDookFanboyDan. You haven't changed much.

Duke vs. Villanova

Go find a Dook fanboy site and be sure to tell all your brethren about us mean old weferees. You'll feel so much better if you do that. You ain't an official and you never have been, so quit trying to masquerade as one. You're just your average whiny ol' Dook fanboy.

Go!

Shoo!

Shoo, shoo....

And don't bother to come back next year either.

In the days of yore, Old Duke was about 89 cents a bottle. "Whiskey makes you frisky. Wine makes you fine. Old Duke makes you ____."

Sorry, brainiac, I was an active IAABO official in BB up here in NY for 11 years (retired for health reasons); I also officiated softball (ASA) and Soccer.

In fact, I was a member of the same IAABO board as one of the officials from Saturday's semis ... officiated many a game with him. You seem to think you're so damn smart, figure out which one it was.

The one thing that I'm not is a hypocrite like some of you seem to be.

P.S. FU!

Shoo, fanboy, shoo.......

Lah me.....and 96.74% of 'em are all ex-officials.

While doing my daily grind on the elliptical, I heard that the owners of the Nets are prepared to offer the rat $12 million - $15 million a year to be coach / GM.

For that kind of stupid money, even King Dook should listen. $75 million over 5 years isn't exactly chump change.

I figured that that would be the response from some moronic loser with no life except an online message board (17,965 posts).

I'd put my ratings record up against yours any day, fool.

Ratings from who? Coaches?

On my board we got ratings for each game we worked from the two other officials (even probies) we worked with, PLUS ratings from each of the coaches, PLUS ratings from an observer, if one had been assigned to that particular game. Observers usually would tape a running commentary for our games; later we were each provided a copy of that tape to review our performances.

We had pre-season ratings and then they were updated three (3) times during the course of each season.

No, just someone who answered 'in kind'; that other poster basically called me a liar about having officiated.

I was just giving him the same respect he gave me.

I could have given the board number I was on (actually I'm still carried as 'inactive' there) and contacts' names but nobody else seems to offer that info here.

Hmmm, there are plenty of coaches around who I think are whiners and show a lack of sportsmanship. I guess if I thought it impacted my ability to officiate fairly I would turn back an assignment, but if that was the case, I wouldn't be a very good official.

I can't say I've turned back any games because I thought one of the coaches was a classless boor, but I suppose it could happen. Don't imagine that if I was ever good enough that it would come up, I would have any more trouble officiating one of his games than any of the other coaches out there who lack simple courtesy or a sense of integrity when it comes to sportsmanship.

Why would you argue that Coach K should get special consideration from officials, as opposed to any other coach?

The only reason he is being discussed is because his reputation as Mr Perfect Stand Up Paragon of Virtue is in such start contrast to his actual behavior.

Why would you think that I was arguing that ? Nothing I have said here even remotely suggests that.

I thought your suggestion that officials who have not drank the Duke kool-aid should not officiate Duke games was certainly rather special consideration. Why should Coach K treating officials poorly result in anyone turning in his games, so he can then only have officials who are ok with him telling them how to call the game?

Sure seems like *very* special consideration, in fact.

[Adam]

Chances are, I'd only get to work one of his games anyway.
