Questioning Partner's Call

Seriously what is your problem dude?

My problem? That you whine so much about "personal attacks" yet have no problem making partonizing a$$ comments like this:

What kind of pompous official thinks other officials don't know how AAU basketball works?

Because you think a bad call in one game isn't as severe as a bad call in another game. Which to me is an insensitive comment to the hard working parents who pay their hard earned money to then invest time during the week practicing to play the games on the weekends. Kids and families plan their lives around these games, and dismissing these games the way you did is a mark of unprofessionalism.

Making excuses about why you don't have pre-games before each of these games is a sign of what? Those games aren't as important or they (and you) would pay officials as much as the more important games. They play in a new tournament every weekend. It is "off-season" basketball. And the fact that you put people that you don't trust on the games shows that you don't think very much of the games yourself.

And still, that has nothing to do with the fact that you said, without knowing me, that I don't know how AAU works. You made a personal assessment of me, yet 1/2 your posts here complain about people making it "personal" towards you.
