I'm only guessing, but I would bet the areas where you'll get grief for calling this are far outnumbered by the areas where more trouble would come for letting this crap go.

True, and I would not presume to advise anyone one way or the other here, but, apparently, in your area, you don't believe much in tact, either.

Guys that brag about having thick skin often need to be told to "grow a *ucking pair."

That incident happen over 15 years ago and not in the area that I live now. But with that being said, how do you know I do not go to church or that I am involved in my church more than you or anyone else here? But that is why this conversation is overall stupid, because this has little to do with morals.

Peace

I have to ask.

What does your church attendance or involvement have to do with jar's post?

I'm not missing your point. I got it in your first post. I was describing how I would handle things in answer to the OP. I'm not getting upset with you for handling situations in a different way either. You handle them how you handle them. As do I.

I never said a technical foul solves everything. I said in this particular, narrow example that is how I would handle it.

No, I don't. But as I've mentioned several times now, I'm talking about a freshman in high school level.

So I have to handle things the way you do so you can feel better? You are not confident in your own standards and ability to decide what goes too far?

I also did not realize the rule was different for the Freshman level. I guess that is a different standard too?

Peace

Pretty sure I just said you obviously do things your way and I do them differently. I don't care if you do them my way and it won't make me feel better or worse. I don't work anywhere near you. I'm actually quite confident in my own standards and ability to decide what goes too far, like you I do it every game I work.

Do you enforce all rules the same for all levels? Call every travel you see in a middle school game? Your last two sentences are borderline silly, and you're obviously just looking for an argument.

Then if that is what I said, then why are we even debating this issue?

Actually the general philosophy I take in officiating does not change during levels unless there are rules or specifics do do something differently. I call obvious violations. I do not work a lot of middle school games now, but when I did I would call what was obvious. The players have a different skill level so they are going to be smoother at certain things.

And I responded to the OP without quoting anyone. Not sure what fight I am looking for.

Peace

Not sure, you're the one who brought it in. So, what does it have to do with it?

I simply told a story about language. Not sure why it matters at this point. You guys are going to do what works for you and I will do the same. All this debating over what is appropriate or not is going to always vary. I see how different parents raise their kids, so some people obviously have different standards in those things and those things would involved language and the usage of certain language.

Peace

That doesn't mean we can't enforce community standards. Obviously, those standards are different between Chicago and, say, Salt Lake City, but some standards are more universal than others. "Fu@k" for example, is far more universally unacceptable than all but about a handful of other words.

I did not say what you can't do. If something goes too far in your mind penalize away.

And I live in a suburb west of Chicago, the standards are not the same there then what they are in the city of Chicago.
