Hmm...
Show off officials - the guys who somehow have the idea the crowd came to see them. Common mechanic: open palm hitting against the head.
Guys that have no sense of teamwork - we can relay timeouts, so why take the extra steps? You called three fouls in a row; we have a double whistle, and you sprint toward the table. You're ballhawking while someone just got shoved 15 feet in your primary. You think calling 3-seconds is a waste of time. You roll the ball to your partner all night, I guess to make sure he's truly getting a workout aside from his four mile run. And the guy who's having the time of his life socializing with the coaches and players while forgetting to call the game. On the good side: we can use two hands to signal player numbers, so we don't get aggravated about that. |

Guys who make up their own rules and are never wrong even when they obviously are. Thankfully, only a couple GIGDGO games this season.

the most rewarding flavor
One does not have "a cold Schafer." One is "having more than one." Noting a prior reference hereabouts to a post game porter, I report that Narragansett Porter has returned, good beverage, popular prices. |

No, your partner looks like a fool. He is the one who was unable to use the proper mechanics to communicate who the foul was on.

Right off the top of my head, I'd say officials that aren't sharp with their signaling. Look, I don't care if an official uses 2 vs. 1 handed reporting, doesn't use the stop clock signal, or doesn't make all their signals look like the book, but damn it, look sharp while doing so. I tell younger (as far as experience goes) officials that game management and call selection improve with time...signaling is something one can control right away.

My pet peeve would probably be have to be when a full timeout is requested and granted, the calling official reports the full timeout with the double foul signal. That irks at me for some reason...
Also, when an official uses the shot clock violation signal for "my time." I'm sure there are more that I have, but those two come to mind currently. |

Schaefer Pleasure Doesn't Fade Even When Your Thirst Is Done ...
Then why can I still purchase a six pack at my local adult beverage super store?

Does it taste the same as the 70's? Some of my fondest memories are of stealing my old man's rusty cans of Schaefer from the basement when I was 16...
