I agree.

[QUOTE]I enjoy the Dave-isms as cute jokes, but don't think they should be employed in a game environment.[QUOTE]

Again, I agree.

[QUOTE]I also beleive that the refs who can stay out of the fray and call a good game with a cool head have the respect of almost every coach, regardless of what you may hear from them in the heat of battle.[QUOTE]

Wow. This is a coach I can work with.

[QUOTE]Parting thought - A referee's authority is established by law in the rules, but in acutality by comportment on the court.[QUOTE]

You get an A+ . Wholeheartedly agree.
