I think chseagle was my timer tonight

I guess I am less tolerant as well. The administrator would be putting a sub at the table. No way I am continuing in that spot w/o him/her gone.

Chseagle, people are explaining things just great. You however have a lack of simple comprehension. This is a forum for REFEREES. People who wear striped shirts and whistles. You fail to comprehend that. You want to discuss your duties and all the authority you exude. We don't care. You are a T-I-M-E-R, not a R-E-F-E-R-E-E. You fail to understand that. Somehow, people reply to your trolling and actually discuss rules with you. They explain the rules and your duties to you. You fail to understand that. Finally, it has become painfully obvious that you have some kind of authority complex. You are hung up on not only officiating, but security and anything else that puts you in a position of power over people. You are a timer. You have no authority. Even if you did, authority will never make people respect you. Anyway, officiating basketball is not about authority. It is just about being a part of an educational experience for high school students. Since you want control over people, go start a cult. My Christmas wish is to see you banned from this forum, and I would suggest some psychological help to deal with your authority issues.
