OT: Have you worked with this guy?

[SNIPERBBB]

Wonder if he works any Harlem Globetrotter games.

[ThatOneRef]

Awesome, just plain awesome. Wonder what he's on...

Lets all be honest. EVERY association has "This Guy" maybe not AS flambouyant, but we all have the older offiical who really puts "extra effort" into his game. I know we have one, and the kids and fans love him. I love working with him b/c when he makes a crazy call all I have to say to a coach is "Hey, that's " and they agree and move on.
Wouldn't want to have younger offiicals imitate the mechanics, but would love for them to have that same level of energy and enthusiasm.

Out friggin standing!! Thanks for the film. great music too!!

As we get late in the Rec Season here and I move into the playoff and championship rounds I always look for something to work on! Now, I have several things. Excellent (sarc).

Let's remember that when the game is over we are to be forgotten. Never a spectical to be made of ourselves. The game is not about us.

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.
