Would anyone on this board, were they serving in a supervisory capacity "over" other officials ever do what that gentlemen did? That is - walk onto the court in full view of everyone in the gym and tell the officials what rules to enforce and then come onto the court a second time to get involved in a floor discussion with one or both coaches.

Exactly. Whether we're doing our day jobs or officiating, we all have bosses. If the boss says you do something -- immoral orders notwithstanding -- you do it.
However, I have to believe part of the delay is the referee of this crew asking the admin, "you want us to call this NOW?" If the ASAA let it go for this long into the season, it would certainly be a legitimate question. I'm giving props to the PA announcer, though, for a thorough explanation of the technical foul. Most places I know are so stringent on their announcers, that they would allow no announcement of the T, or simply, "technical foul, (name of team), team's second of the half." Fans have a right to know why a T is called, especially on the state's biggest stage.

A couple of things I have learned:
1. Guys not taking care of business in prior games end up serving pie like in "The Help" to subsequent officials. 2. How one guy on this thread has ended up on ignore lists.

Thanks, and yeah, it's an annual thing. Normally we're told at the preseason meeting what to do (nothing) but we didn't have one because of Sandy. When something like this is within the "family" it's not an issue, though 99% of NYC teams do have legal jerseys so I can't see how it's fair to them but I'm not the one making the decision. However, some of NYC's more prominent teams play games outside the PSAL, as is the case with prominent teams from other leagues around the country. If the PSAL coaches are shocked when they walk into a gym in another state and catch a T for the illegal jerseys that's their problem.

Just like in officiating, you can keep blaming everyone and everything else —*or you can take a minute and look in the mirror and self-evaluate and see if there is anything you can do differently to achieve the results you'd like.

So let me now tell you and the other mods involved who seem to think that they know everything that you are mistaken about who created that account. Secondly, I did NOT personally attack any other poster or call anyone names. I did strongly criticize the attitude expressed by a poster which I considered to be unprofessional and not proper for an official to display or carry onto the court. After what I just learned from your post, I'm going to take some time to consider whether I will continue posting in this forum or not. If this new and strict policy is the way that it is going to be, it is not an improvement and not in the spirit of the late JR. Last edited by Nevadaref; Tue Apr 02, 2013 at 06:00am. |
