You (in so many words) called him a liar, twice.

I doubt that's the kind of thing anyone is looking for when they sincerely ask for feedback. It was a jerk thing to say, regardless of whether or not he asked for feedback.

I'm suprised, Scuba, that you can't tell the difference between being a jerk just to be a jerk and offering advice.
Trust me I can tell...I have been following along on this board long before I got up the nerve to post.

I was in no way justifying the negative/attack type comments. I was only pointing out that there were four good posts to start the thread with actual advice.

I say go with a lanyard, until you're on a stage trying to get into the League. I've been at multiple camps, as camper and staff, where I've heard clinicians or assignors say to not do it.

But as others have said, if it's not costing you games or drawing additional attention to yourself, then whatev.

Peace
amen!!!!!!

I will admit it sure does look cool if you can go sanslanyard without dropping your whistle. I tried it for a few games and things would be going fine then all of sudden call an offensive foul and boom whistle is falling all over the floor players are stepping on it. 1000's of people laughing at you. Not a good look.

not to step on any toes, but my assigner reccommended I go without a lanyard because he thought it would slow down my calls a little and help me think them through more. (also the loop on my shirt fell off but lets not dwell on that.

He must think he's an NBA assignor. He must have heard that's what the "big boys" do and now he wants to be one of them. There's no other explanation for why he would tell you to do that....:rolleyes:

Unless...you know...he truly meant he should try it out for those given reasons. He's not the first person I've heard give that advice.

Wrong. It's five pages on no lanyard. If the thread was just about lanyards, it wouldn't have any legs.
