Why Bob? Why?

And I never said other officials. People in general.

What did I ever do to you?

I don't think bob meant any malice by his comment.

He often comments on my posts and I don't understand why. I have been a frequent visitor to this forum since 2005 and have NEVER posted anything negative towards anyone.

I have found these boards to be a great tool for learning. Better than most association meetings/clinics. I have pointed several coaches and basketball fans in general here to follow and learn.

I post situations I see seeking advice or clarification on a situation or rule. What is the purpose of this forum if not that.

Thanks to all who contribute and make this a great place to learn.

Don't worry about it. The "heat" you get from bob jenkins, or a few other esteemed members, is nothing compared to the "heat" you get from players, coaches, and fans, during a "heated" game. Maybe these esteemed members are just trying to toughen you up. Please keep on posting.

One thing that I can say about bob jenkins is, "Always listen to bob". You can take that to the bank.

Thanks BillyMac. I listen and learn from all of them. I have matured into a varsity-level official getting state playoff games and owe a lot of that to the information learned on this board.

Bob is merely expressing his hope that as a varsity official getting playoff games you would already know the answer to these very basic questions.
Personally I wonder why your friends don't believe you yet will believe the consensus of a group of strangers on the internet.

+1

A state tournament official should have credibility with his fellow officials.

Personally the thing that bothers me is that Johnny never posts an applciable rules or case citation. As in "I read rule 1-2-3 and I think it applies but I'm not sure".

It was a serious question.

Why do you think everytime I respond to one of your posts, I mean something besides what I say / ask?
