Never cared for them anyway...that just sealed the deal.

WhistleShare is in no way in competition with officiating.com. WhistleShare is a website developed for video analysis and way for officials to get better through discussion and video sharing. My intention in posting was not to drive people away from this site, but rather supply a new avenue to better the avocation that we all love. Take care and I wish you all the best in the upcoming season.

My question -- you created this account to advertise your site.

Do you have any intention of using this account to contribute to THIS site?

The evidence seems clear on this question.

If you guys did the research, you would realize that the site just hosts videos from officials of their games or games they have tape of. I seriously doubt that that is going to compete with this site on any level. For one this website does not host videos and you can post videos there and send them here or any number of places for review or discussion. Not the same thing as what this site does. It is not much different than YouTube but for basketball officials (very specific).

I guess that could change one day, but does not seem to be the focus.

Peace

That's not my point. Providing free advertising shouldn't be part of what this board provides -- unless the person doing the advertising is a contributing member of the board. Assuming whistleshare is an official, perhaps he/she could step in and be a contributing member and not just advertise for his/her site.

If not, there are banner ads and I'm sure Brad would be more than happy to sell one.

I do get it. I think this is a very sensitive subject with some and not with others.

I am just point out that this has been done before with almost no objection openly. Who knows what is said behind closed doors.

Peace
