As I said in the other thread, I highly doubt that would be allowed by the powers that be. As a matter of fact, it would be stupid to even seriously entertain something like that with their actual name on such a thing. You have to know better than that right?

Peace

We have been advised by our local IAABO board secretary/treasurer, and our interpreter, to not use our real names, nor identify our local board affiliation, on any form of social media, including forums such as this. They both stressed this after attending an IAABO conference where the legal aspects, and ramifications, of such postings were discussed by a panel of lawyers.

You all know me as BillyMac, an environmental chemical analyst from a little corner in Connecticut. In reality, I'm just a sweet transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania.

Hey, I use twitter on the court. If a play is trending quickly enough, I blow my whistle.

All comments to coaches should be kept under 140 characters, in aggregate.

And wouldn't the reverse be sweet? All comments from coaches to officials should be kept under 140 characters.

If we could get Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. to post in 140 characters, or less, that would certainly be a big improvement to the Forum.
