Some table personnel can also walk and chew gum at the same time.

I thought it was "walk, chew gum, & talk on their cell phone at the same time"?

The game might be better served if you minded your own business instead of everybody elses.

"walk, chew gum, monitor the locker room entrance, inspect the opposing team's uniforms, control the fans, insist on overly-strict adherance to minor administrative rules, question the officials and complain to the principal at the same time"

Look -- there's a fine line between "professionalism" and "slavish adherance to the strict letter of the rules." All too often, tables dont even approach the professionalism line, and I think it's great that you are doing so, especially at the C-level games. But, going overboard will not win you many friends and will make it less likely that your concerns are heard when they are valid.

Sorry, but I was raised in a Military household with strict adherence of rules/regulations. I was raised that there should be no relaxing when it came to adherence of rules/regulations & that no matter the circumstance(s) those rules/regulations are to be follwoed as they are written without any deviations.

Too many "Jerk-offs" look at those same rules/regulations as only suggestions/guidelines when they are written as such that they are supposed to be followed to the full extent written.

I have realized over the past couple of years that, especially at the C-Squad level, that some of the players are still in the learning stages so they are in a sense still in "Basic Training" so with appropriate guidance & discipline, learning can be achieved.

Concerning everything you listed, I have never done all those things at once. With the experiences I have had working in security/crowd control, it can be hard not to put full focus on the action on the court, if I see something in the stands that should not be happening. However I let personnel know of that occurance so that it can be rectified. Anymore with approaching school administration, I only approach with concerns/complaints if there is a genuine need for action to take place. Concerning the questioning of floor officials, I just ask questions about what I saw & ask for clarification on why it was called/not called.

Different people have different upbringings, or different standards. If a person can't adapt then that person needs to be institutionalized.

Good grief.

You will find that not everyone in the real world operates in an orderly, proficient, military manner.

Might be the most unintentionally apropos thing ever posted on this board. At worst, it's tied for first.
