I didn't really mean to get all up about the switching thing. It wasn't really that big of a problem to me. It was just that he didn't bother to discuss the not switching thing with me. He just said. We're not switching. No discussion. Just a mandate. That part I can't appreciate.

Also, not all the games are 6th grade. I've done everything from 6th grade to 17 y/o there. It's just the luck of the draw depending on what they have coming in for the week.

I by no means am trying to demean a fellow official. I'm just saying that when I processed all of the rest of the information from how he officiated the rest of the games and how he communicated (or lack there of) with me, I had no real motive to question his 5 seconds in the backcourt call. I just charged it to him making a mistake. I don't know whether it was a conscious or unconscious mistake. Only he knows.

And Mr. Rutledge. When do I become old enough to understand? I don't know if I'll look forward to the day when I can no longer run at an officials pace for 6 games. That would mean that I could probably only play 2 or 3. I think that means I'm over the hump!
