Consistently bad?

Consistent in that the majority of his posts state that he'll invoke a rule that should not apply in the case being discussed and/or flat out invent a rule if necessary. He's going to call whatever he wants to call and it's obvious from his posts and his arguments when called out that he really doesn't care what the rules are and has no intention of learning here.

You guys can refuse this time out request if you like. Is that an annoying and delaying time for a time out? Heck yes. Are you going to be in trouble for doing so? Probably not unless an observer happens to notice.

But just don't try to pretend you're going by the book or have any rule support for doing so when you do it. Cause you don't.

This kind of says it all, doesn't it? Personal enjoyment trumps learning to do it right. Awesome.

For the record, I think the rest of us who aren't inventing rules also enjoy what we do (and those that don't move on and do something else eventually).

I'm not sure how the two things you list have anything to do with one another.

You enjoy knowingly doing something wrong?

It isn't exactly a hard concept to know when the ball becomes live for the FT.

I happen to enjoy being able to do it AND do it right.

Do you also enjoy calling a 5 second violation in the backcourt or travelling on a throwin?

I'm perfect and I enjoy what I do. At least that's what my wife observes

I think maybe you've gotten too used to the laid back atmosphere of Montana hoops. Things will change when you hit Florida.
