Yep, you're considered a referee who takes care of business and gets a Final Four assignment that same year. Kudos to Mike Stuart.

I timed myself and that took all of about 12 second. I'd probably do it faster with the adrenaline going. Even if it did take a bit longer, what's the harm? Rushing or looking rushed is much worse than being or acting deliberate. Again, we aren't talking about 10 minutes; maybe 30 seconds more at the most. You can't tell me that that will hurt anything.

Can you give me an example of a call I make against a coach (T) that you don't need to know the particulars of? Again, part of what I'm trying to do is to slow things down. When you are dealing with more than one foul on a play, especially with guys that worked a college game last night, it may take a few seconds to clarify how to proceed. Don't be afraid to take the time and the attitude of "I don't really need to know all that" makes me think you're more concerned about getting things done in a timely fashion than slowing the pace down to get everything right. My point is that this is a very dangerous way of thinking. I've seen and been in games that got royally screwed up because guys got in a big hurry. If my explanation slows all that down, it was indeed worth it. Guys, I've done this sort of thing about 7-9 times over the last 3 years or so in hoops and probably a lot more in football (after a flag). In none of these situations did the game "stall." The risk of rushing and doing or saying something you will regret later far outweighs taking another 30-45 seconds. |

There's nothing the matter with giving a very quick explanation of a call to your partners if you feel they need one. There's a heckuva lot wrong though with refusing to give the exact same very quick explanation to the coach. That's absolutely terrible advice from both you and Judtech re: having your partner(s) explain your calls instead of you. The calling official knows why he/she made the call and should have the confidence to explain why that call was made if asked. You and Judtech are both making yourselves look weak as hell by using your partners to avoid a possible confrontation. It's the old, old story though. Some officials will spend more time explaining why they shouldn't have to take responsibility for their own calls rather than just manning up and take care of bidness. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. And if you won't do anything about the heat, stay away from the kitchen also. Last edited by Jurassic Referee; Thu May 20, 2010 at 07:14am. |

Clarifying how to proceed has nothing to do with telling your partners "The coach ... so that's why I gave him a T"

JURRASIC; You may need to brush up on both your reading an anatomical skills. I never said I would NOT give the coach an explaination and I didn't read that in TEXAS' post either. IMO, it is more a logistical issue. On a T the calling official goes opposite table, on any other foul the calling official goes table side. This makes any explaination more difficult for the calling official on a T than on a "normal" foul. If a coach wants to wait until I rotate over to discuss it, again, if appropriate, I will be more than happy to do so.
Perhaps I am not paranoid enough. Since I won't throw my partner under a bus, I just operate under the premise they won't either. If I see one of my partners talking to a coach after any type of call, my first thought is not "That SOB, why is he talking to that coach. I just know they are talking about me" To me, the more a crew can show cohesion, the stronger they look. So, if trusting your partners to do the right thing, and trusting in your own skills to do the right thing, is being weak, then I guess I am ( Not weak as Hell though, because if you have EVER smelled burning sulfur UGHH) As for having no balls, I find so much wrong with that statement. In light of the fact that you have never seen me naked or vice versa, do we really need to play "whose is bigger"? Besides, a good friend of mine who was a wrestler only had one, and he was a pretty strong/bad dude!!! (Although I do hear that when you get older they sag more!) |
