3 Seconds

[dee33]

The players would come in I say paint they step out game had a great flow was very consistent but this coach was ranting and they had a great lead HE WANTED A 1,2,3 three seconds come on if it were action in the paint ok but it was very minimal

from what u writ here it seems as you did it right I wouldnt change the way you called it but i also wouldnt let the coach rant all night that should have been addressed quickly at the latest he gets a T during that timeout have you talked to your assigner to see how he wants it called and how he thinks you should have addressed the coaches behavior i never use the "i start my count over" approach because it is only likely to make the problem worse

As far as the coach this was my response to him and I'm sure alot will be against this but I told him this after the timeout rant I said coach you know everytime I have my count going and you start with your 3 seconds rant I lose count and have to start over again yup he was pissed.

i feel like this is some sort of competition in which we see who can make the longest sentence without some sort of punctuation i mean does anyone else see that i didnt know where one thought ended and the next begun i just kept saying to myself holy cow shouldnt we be using periods or commas every now and again

Punctuation! We don't need no stinking punctuation.

I don't think a moderator should be mocking the grammar or writing style of another poster.

Frankly, I considered simply reminding him that punctuation would help. I tried a different tactic. My intent wasn't mockery, it was to show him how hard it is to read when someone writes like that.

Is that where the beers are?

I worked a 32-31 game tonight. I could use one or two.

I really dont think its that difficult to read maybe if I was home I could pull out the grammar books and make a valiant attempt to portray Einstein but since I'm usually at work responding and posting between tasks who cares if you dont like it ADAM simply dont read t thats your right

You're right, I don't have to read it if I don't want to. Frankly, I couldn't give a crap about your grammar, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm also not talking about your vocabulary.

I'm talking about basic punctuation, something to divide one thought from another. I post from work all the time, I post from my phone all the time. Using a period or a comma doesn't take extra time.

Now, again, I don't have to read your posts, I'm not saying this for my benefit. This is only advice about how to get the most out of this forum. Take it or leave it.

That is stupid. He is the moderator. Part of his purpose is to read posts. (Please pardon the punctuation).

Plus! How? Do you know, whether you "like" - it until after; you've read it.

I think he failed. Unlike the other poster, Adam's was still readable.

Stick around long enough and you will see that the moderators can do whatever they like. The rules do not apply to them.

What rules?
