Sean Corbin's Style............

[Multiple Sports]

This is purely for debate. I know that Sean came from the NBA, but I am wondering what some of the esteemed brotherhood thinks of his style. Don't get me wrong, he looks as cool as the other side of the pillow (God I hate Stuart Scott), but on the flipside, I think at times he looks 100% lethargic.

Would love to hear some of your thoughts about his style........

What you interpret as lethargic, I read as confidence. His movements suggest "I've been here & done this before."

I much prefer his style compared to most of the "big dogs."

Lethargic is the wrong word. Maybe apathetic would be more apropos as a possible description.

But he gets plays right. And he was the one who came in from the trail to pick up that PC foul right before halftime in one of the early round games.

Colorado State vs. Murray State. That play was money.

I dunno. His 10-second backcourt count looks pretty lethargic. I much prefer a crisper, more precise count. He tends to let his arm hang down pretty low and limp (no pun intended) when he's making his count.

I saw that too, but that's probably because he comes from a ruleset that mentally subtracts 8 from the 24 in regards to b/c counts.

I'm sure he could live with that critique

This is true. I should have added that it's just my preference. I think he's an excellent official.

Apathetic would imply that he doesn't care. That might apply to some of his mechanics, but not to his overall officiating. As far as I am concerned he is one of the best to watch as far as court coverage, putting himself in the best position to see plays, getting calls right, dealing with emotional players and coaches, etc.

Oh, I'm not saying that he is apathetic, I'm just saying that's the impression some may get from his style as opposed to lethargy.

They said the same thing about Joe Brinkman.

Dissent.

Corbin was the lead on that play. Earl Walton came from the trail to get this call. I was really happy for Earl to have a different type of spotlight moment at the end of this season.

That said, I still think Corbin is top-flight. Really wish he'd gotten a chance to work the final weekend.

Negative...Corbin was the trail.

Ah, the vagaries of trying to pick out officials on a streaming broadcast.

Thanks for the correction.
