Let's take a vote

Since Rut trashed the posting of Davisms in another thread, I thought it might be interesting to see which type of post the readers of this board find more desirable - general posts by Rut or posts containing Davisms.

Go ahead and vote - it's the 4th of July and let's celebrate democracy.

You can post the Davisism all day. But if you think they are professional and are becoming of officiating, some would disagree with you. Just had an official tell me, "I cannot say any of that."

So ridicule coaches, players and fans all day if you like, call them names all day as well. But do not come here and get mad when they do the same to you on the court.

Peace

I notice you didn't vote for yourself.

BTW - what's a "Davisism"? Is that something they say at Cal State-Davis?

Ok- Most people on this board or what? Over 23-24? Theres the few majority of us that are of lesser age. Now you guys put so much focus on needing better officials coming up through the ranks? Consider the example you are setting for us younger officials who frequent this board (I myself am 16.) . Now, that I've said that. Mark - the altimatum to the general public of the board is someting I would see from one of my friends in a pick up basketball game. "Do you guys want me on your team to help you win or do you want me to go them and help them come back and kick you.." well you get the point. Yes the Davisms are funny, and yes you have some major elphants in your pants for using them on and off the court and you must be pretty high on yalls barking order to get away with that kind of stuff. But this is just getting ridiculus. We should be coming here to discuss the rules, discuss the odd situations, the different sort of things to make each other basketball officials. Its all about comoderity (spelling?) in our world. On the court we have no friends but each other. I think what you did was funny, proffesional? no but niether was the coach/cop. I'm not saying funny stories and good times arent acceptable but this is ridiculus...
I dunno, maybe thats just me being 16. I dont know.

JA

I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself. Besides, Juulie's at a family reunion this weekend. Somebody had to do it. . . Ace, I'm just yankin' your chain, man. I'm glad to have you here. There were just too many opportunities to pass up. Have a great weekend.

You forgot the missing apostrophes.

I tried not to pick on things that I thought were simple typing errors. Didn't want to seem mean. That's why I didn't point out "someting". Oops. . .

ROFLMAO aight so my typing and grammar skills arent that of Chuck and Julie yet. But don't let those reflect on my officiating skills or the POINT I was trying to make.
