Mine is calling it the "Baseline" instead of the "Endline".

Awesome. Guess it's obvious I played for 14 years and have been officiating for 3.

While working with guys I really have very little I get upset by. I can adjust to anyone that I work with if they do something quirky or not completely correct. All I really ask is that you communicate with me and let me know what is going on from your mechanics or what you called. Other than that I can adjust to just about anything and have in my career. Most of the time it is only one game, so I do not get that upset about those kinds of things.

Peace

Guys who misuse the words "literally" and "myself."

Oh, you meant on the court?

Young officials who demonstrate a lack of rules knowledge, but want to complain about other officials' lack of the same.

Only things that can peeve me about another official are not knowing the rules and not knowing the basic fundamental mechanics.

The rest is not for me to judge or worry about. The assignor/supervisor needs to deal with the other stuff.

Trail officials who call 3-second violations when the ball is in the Trail's primary.

Officials who call "reach-in" fouls and/or "over-the-back" fouls. (Usually, these are the same guy).

Please don't ever tell me the ball is alive!! If you do, give me a stethoscope so I can check it.

officials who call violations/fouls that simply didn't happen....

I would MUCH rather have a partner who just doesn't blow the whistle at all - because I can always come in and get the fouls/violations that need to be called....

Unless you were working under pro rules.

+1

I've never blocked working with anyone, but I've considered...

*The guy who overruled my backcourt violation after tip-off (A-2 caught the tip with both feet in the frontcount, then pivoted into backcourt) without discussing it with me.

*The guy who called a blocking foul on a defender with LGP and verticatily, then proceeded to explain to me, "he got him with his belly."

*The guy who wasn't working my game, but came into our locker room after my game and give me a hard time for calling a foul with one second left.

All three, same guy.

Nobody can overrule your backcourt violation, whether they discuss it with you or not.

Why just considered?
