If you ever pulled that crap in my association, you'd never officiate another game here. And if you ever tried to pull that crap on any of our experienced officials during a game, your azz would be outside in a snowbank in one helluva big hurry. You might get away with intimidating a rookie with that nonsense but that just doesn't work with experienced officials who know the rules.

We want our officials to follow the rules, not make up their own.

You've come up with some real dandies lately, Mark, but you've outdone even yourself this time. No wonder they don't give you varsity games anymore.

Un-freaking-believable!!!!

Not exactly how I would have worded it, but +1.

Yeah, you're probably right, Snaqs. The response was kinda over the top but it's frustrating to me when someone advises readers here to ignore plainly written rules. You know better and I know better....and the other knowledgable people here know better...but....the rookies just learning might take something that far-fetched as being gospel.

On the plus side though, it does get the point across.

... and Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. knows better. His post surprised me. Could he still have some holiday nog left in the house?

P.S. What happened to the kinder, gentler, Jurassic Referee? And picking on an old man like Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.? Shame on you. Weren't you taught to respect your elders?
