He was upset that I did not think that both plays that were posted were not seen the exact same and rule both were blocks that JetMetFan posted on the same day. I said one play was a block and the other was a charge. He claimed they were exactly the same and I should have ruled both blocks. He even suggested that the defenders did the exact same thing at the time of contact. Then two regular posters called him on that fact and instead of addressing their comments, he went after me again. My position was the both plays were not the same and why I felt one was a block (I believe in this thread) and the other play was a charge. And then he suggested that someone in their 30s is over the hill and needs to stop officiating, but if I recall this is a person that just started working college ball of any kind and asked a question about what to do in a college situation. I guess because I did not just start working college ball a year ago I am over the hill (sorry but that was the funniest insult). If being in your 30s makes you over the hill, and then most of the officials I work with must be decrepit as most are older than me by more than a few years. And these are very successful officials I am talking about. Most officials younger than me have not broken in to varsity ball or if they work college they are just getting started. I am glad everyone in entertained but this was funny to me, because I was not talking to him at all in this thread until I was addressed. I do not back down from trolls like this. Peace

Actually Billy said it would be entertaining and even showed some popcorn (post #45 on Page 3), but I digress. Peace

This particular block/charge was very very close and the drive started from the C's PCA therefore it is his call. That said, the C was pretty much where he should havd been, I would have liked to see him close down as the offensive player drove to the basket, meaning that I don't think he was in the best position to officiate the defense and the L was somewhat straight-lined too, leaving the least likely of the three, the T, with possiblly the best angle to see that this was a charge.

That's Not Entertainment ...
Quote:
Rookie Forum members have absolutely no idea who can really "walk the walk". Not a clue. I thought for sure that when the new poster "called you out" that you would tear him to shreds, but you didn't, you're too polite, too patient, and too respectful. So it really wasn't very entertaining. Maybe 7IronRef will eventually earn our respect, after we all get to know him better. Maybe, someday, he'll become an esteemed member, and then we will all look back on this and have a good laugh. If Jurassic Referee had been around? Now, that would have been entertaining.

Billy,
You are right, if JR was here and a few others, he would have been called a lot more than what I said here for sure. And even if he caught me 7 or 8 years ago I might have done the same. If I have realized anything by this we are kind of in this together. We disagree as we are supposed to disagree. As I said before I use video at one of my association's meetings all the time where I am President, I would get part of the room say one thing and the other saying another. And many would not back down because they see one thing in the video and others see something else. And since I am wrong on one of the plays, it would not be the first time nor the last. Anyone that has been officiating for any length of time knows that. Peace

He did say, somewhere, that you were wrong on both calls (you said one was a block and one was a charge) and he also posted a ruling where he said both were blocks. So, if you were wrong on the one in this thread, he was too, since you had the same ruling. His statement here is where he contradicts himself... Quote:

7IronRef: Big deal, I can quote the appropriate Casebook Plays from 1971 that apply to the two videos we are discussing. Can you? MTD, Sr.

Everyone has fault, and faults. Rut's "little girl" comment is sexist. Other guy uses lots of inappropriate apostrophes. I'm not as fast as I was when I started working college (see what I did there?). We're all flawed.
Motion to drop this and move on.
