Summer Ball
 

One coach thinks we're pathetic.

Parent from the other team says he's a college official and I need "to learn."

And I missed part of Father's Day for this.

Sounds a bit like my day too, just smile and ignore...

College Referee ?????
 

Any parent that says he is a college official and criticizes another official is a joke !!!!!

He obviously meant that he officiated intramurals when he was in school.

Forget a parent, any official who would openly criticize another official like that is a joke.

Ask him what league he works for...tell him you need to know so you can let his assigner know what a horse's a** he is in the stands.

Like Grandma Used To Say, If You Don't Have Something Nice To Say About Someone .....
 

Agree 100%.

I had a better one for you. I had a "high school official" that worked the table at an AAU tournament and did not understand why we kept awarding baskets on a shooting foul when the player started their motion to the basket and were not in the air. BTW, me and my partner both work college ball and were calling it the same all day.

And some people want all rules to be the exact same at all levels? ;)

Peace

Unless I'm missing something in your description, that rule *is* the same at all levels.

I know that. You know that. But did this "High School Official" (as he described it) know that? ;)

Peace

Your argument makes no sense whatsoever. But why let that stop you now.

There may be something Jeff is leaving out, such as the guy saying "this isn't the NBA."

I doubt it. His point is that since some people (even officials) can't get one rule set right, it is OK to have multiple rule sets which creates even more confusion. How that is a good thing, is beyond me. If there are people that can't keep one straight, how does he expect it to be better when people have to keep 3-4 straight?

His point is that even when the rules are the same officials are confused or just plain don't know the rules so quit all the whining about different rule sets.


And I'm saying a good official knows multiple rule sets if he/she is working different levels. And a coach should know the rules that apply to his games. And I don't care dif fans are confused.

We have a winner!!!!
