Naw, it's just another item on the long list of things that I could give a damn less about.

Everybody in the gym knows why the foul was called anyway.

I think it was Timothy Leary that said that, not Confucius.

No. Dr. Leary said, "Turn on, tune in, drop out".

I called with a first year official the other night and he called an "over the back" foul and then when he reported to the table he gave some weird mechanic that looked like a tiger raising it claws to indicate "over the back" At half time I politely told him we didn't use that mechanic here and that a simple "push" is sufficient

Apparently it's far more important to know this than the other incorrect interps that come from his association.
