It does? The directive does not even use "Social Media" in their wording. It says that we should not engage in specific play and or ruling, evaluation/commentary.

I gave a presentation a few weeks ago called, "You make the call" and I went over all video and plays that have either been discussed here or video from games I have officiated. That did involve commentary, rulings and certainly involved specific plays. Even if my state came out and made this statement, I would take issue with them about such a stance. And my state seems to be in violation, because they give all the clinicians a DVD of plays and situations where officials did good and bad things at their State Finals. And the DVDs are to be used at LOAs to train the officiating community on proper mechanics and procedures involving specific situations and giving interpretations.

Peace

Rut, the entire thing is about social media and the interwebs.

And yes officials will discuss and continue to discuss plays on social media and groups are already in place to discuss plays and situations that are on TV or personal videos of plays. Not going to change anything honestly.

"NASO’s Board of Directors adopted the following social media guidelines for use by officials and organizations:"

Reading is Fundamental.

I said OK. And i was focused on the comments about discussing things. And yes that still could apply to things I do as these things can and are posted online on FB and other sites. They did not say only social media was Facebook.

Peace

When there's more than one working lower level official on the board helping to set these policies, I'll take NASO more seriously.

That said, I'm a member (almost entirely for the book discounts, insurance, and Marriott discounts).

Do you mind to elaborate? You can send me a PM, but just curious what the top part means?

I think he's saying that a lot of NASO members are HS and below officials but this group of officials is not equitably represented on NASO's board.

What applies to a BCS conference or NBA official might not necessarily apply to Joe Schmoe from Idaho.
