Of course, he thinks that he is doing a wonderful job.

To this day I have never made a college game look bad or made my partners look bad. U have no idea what I make a game "look" like. You have never seen me referee!

Who is "us"? cause if you are talking about refs as a whole, I'm pretty sure I fit the mold and the makeup of a referee. I believe I have and show respect for all of "us" who wear the uniform.

Are you on some kind of a high horse???? you make it sound like you are so all high and mighty. Where do you get off?

I mean please do tell, if you are a big time DI referee I will apologize right now and go back in my hole. As you notice I don't engage myself in college questions on this forum sooo much. I just get on here and try and learn the rule from discussions. As you can tell, this was related to pro rules so I answered and was, in fact, unaware of the rule for college. Even if I had read the rule for college, I still wouldn't have believed that I couldn't reset the clock cause the word "recognizing" means that I recognize that there is a 2 second(or whatever) differential and that the 35 seconds has expired.

I have not engaged anyone in a long time who has attempted to berate me on this forum, but for you to say I make officials everywhere look bad, that is pure defamation and disrespectful. I would never say anything to anyone like that unless I had actually watched them work and then I would let them know in private.

I take your accusation very seriously. I do this for a living and up to this point in my life, which has not been a long one, it has been my life's work. I respect the people who do it... at all levels and I respect the game and have the utmost love for it. There is not a day that goes by that I wouldn't love to talk basketball and you have virtually just spit at my feet and disrespected me and the job we all love and enjoy to do sooo much.
