Ironically, you replied to the post where I encourage my partner to confer to me when I'm egregiously wrong or I kick a call. So this idea that I'm being self-righteous or condescending in being an advocate of conferring with one another is just another made up bullcrap to prove your own point.

Look at the video that AremRed posted last night where Tom Izzo's team gets screwed on a backcourt call. Are you really saying that the other refs should not have conferred with him about the call? Mind you these are professional officials who are supposed to be at the very best, and yet they get calls wrong too.

To suggest that because a guy is a newer official, I must "baby" him until he feels man enough before going up to him talking through a call is absolutely ridiculous. You guys must be the most sensitive bunch to absolutely work with if I can't come up to and ask or give something for you to consider.

Now I have mentioned many times in this thread that I will reevaluate my approach, and evidently, those of you who are adamant to continue criticizing me will continue to ignore it so what's the point really to say that. But as a man of principle, I will not prohibit myself from telling my partner what I have or ask whether he saw what I saw.

Everything else in your post beyond this though is merely a character assault to prove your own argument and merely an exercise of self-aggrandizement.
