LOL he is hiding.
You can see him in the lower left of the scree at 1:01 and 1:25, only ~2 second appearance in whole sequence.

I like at the 1:00 mark how he cuts in front of a Team A player to begin a closely guarded count.

My favorite canard.

It's about the kids. It's not about us. We shouldn't be noticed. Think of the children. Let's be a bunch of shrinking violets out there.

It's all a bunch of BS.

Oh, I loved the video. I couldn't pull that off, but I was certainly laughing at it.

I love it too...of course we don't WANT to be noticed (because it means the game is going well), but if the situation arises, you step up to the plate and take care of business. And sometimes that means you'll get noticed.

The whole premise behind the best games are ones were we aren't noticed is faulty because the best games tend to be the ones were the teams play well...meaning most likely they aren't forcing our hand to call fouls.

while in this context, I don't fully disagree with your sentiment... I disagree with the sentiment.

We are not to go in and be forgotten; often times we have to make calls that will preclude that. If you want to go in and be able to leave unnoticed and forgotten, buy a ticket.

Maybe, but aren't the coaches also. It's like "One Flew Over the Cockoo's Nest" out there.

What a jughead!
We had a guy on our assoc years ago that resembled this guy a bit physically, long, lean and bald, with some, but not near all the theatrics. On probably my first game with him back in 2-man days, after reporting a time out to table, I turned to locate him and throw in spot, only he's on far end of court shooting Kareem style skyhooks at goal! Another occasion he was standing in doors leading to lobby, sharing popcorn with some fan. Great guy, not a bad ref, and kept it fun. Would he survive today's scrutiny? Prob not.

Just tried and got the same message. Whoever posted it must have marked it private after the hits/views started building. Anyone here know how to get around that? Too bad. Guy looks like a real piece of work.

I wish I would've downloaded it. Great viewing at an association meeting.

Even though I am logged into my YouTube account this video won't open because it is listed as a private video.

Weird, I had a similar notice even when I was able to view it. Now, I can't.

That notice was probably to say it wasn't listed...not that it was private.
