Let's play the T-Worthy Game

[bob jenkins]

Every year (or more often) we have big discussions about whether "damn" (or any other word) is "profanity". I wouldnt even be surprised if some guy from DC and Idaho participated in them. Go ahead and call it. I won't (absent other items) and I'll sleep well.

I will call it. Difference between me and others, though, is that I won't look down on you (ie, call you insensitive or a doormat) for not calling it.

We all have our own standards when it comes to stuff like this and, IMO, that's okay. (notice about 30 posts ago where I told you we'd just have to agree to disagree on the issue)

I thought of this thread tonight. I was working a boys game at the school that's probably #1 in the state in D4 (small school division) and the score was 48-5 at the half.

Fourth quarter and the losing coach is complaining and finally I slide alongside him during free throws and he goes on and on about the other team being bigger, faster, quicker and us letting them get away with stuff. I let him talk himself out and then we move on. Later I told him we'd heard enough. Frankly, I felt bad they were getting killed, but I didn't need to be the scapegoat.

Next time down the floor, the home team substitutes and the assistants tell them "no fouls, no fouls". And the losing coach loudly says, "It doesn't matter - they won't call them anyway."

It ended 88-12. Kid shooting the technicals hit 1 of 2.

Me, too.

Home team up by about 15 in the 4th. I'm in front of the coach. "You guys have to call more handchecks." "I just had one last time down the court." (true). "Well, yes, but you're not getting any help from your partners out here tonight." "Let's not go there."

Really? Because I certainly thought you called Rich a doormat in this thread.

He was using satire in pointing out Rich's presumption that those who would call the T are thin skinned.

What? Forum members never call each other names. That reminds me, isn't it about time for Jurassic Referee to return from his sabbatical?
