not loud enough for hardly anybody to hear, (I didn't, i was transitioning to new lead in two man), but my partner did...whacked him.
Too bad you weren't the T on that play :D

I guess I've done that a couple of times this season too. One of them went something like this:
Me: "You said 'truck', right?
Player: "What? Ummm.... yeah."
Me: "Good, because if you said something else I'd have to call a technical foul on you."

Use the shift key properly to avoid giving the impression that you're an under-educated teenager. ;)

gotta be honest here...kind of techno-challenged. don't know what you mean. if i committed a sin, i apologize. i'm almost 50, and don't use the internet much. e-mail and about 4 websites. don't know much about internet protocol.

I think what mbyron means, stir, is follow the basic grammar rules we all learned. Capitalize sentences and Is. Just like in officiating, appearance counts.

/Again, thanks.

There are 2 people to watch out for on the forum. Mr. Annoying Spelling Guy is one. Mr. Annoying Grammar Guy is the other. You can put others on 'ignore', but the two aforementioned guys are omnipresent.

My daughter sends me similar emails. I just assumed that the shift key on her keyboard must be broken?

A1 is a player. A6 is on the bench. A6 makes a snide, chiding remark to A1. A1 responds with flipping off A6.

Whack or ignore?
I wouldn't ignore but would certainly pull the player aside to talk to her. I doubt
I would "T" unless it was really egregious, and caused a scene.

While it's possible I wouldn't T for this (I've actually had success talking to coaches about this), I would be hard pressed to second guess a partner who did give one.
