I'm suprised, Scuba, that you can't tell the difference between being a jerk just to be a jerk and offering advice.

I ahve been officiating for 10 years now. 5 years ago I stopped wearing a lanyard. I have developed a system for myself to not wear one and not drop my whstle. I ahvent dropped my whistle in 4 years. Recently a coach told me i needed to wear one that it looked unprofessional. I simply replied, how come a lot of NBA and college officials dont wear one? Why wear one if it doesnt slow down the game and is comfortable to me? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Guess what I still question the motive. He even alludes to it with mention of college and NBA officials.

Are you saying that NBA refs are showboats?

Secondly "any feedback would be appreciated" He's getting what he asked for.

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.
