Most OTs ever been through?

1. Three (twice)
2. Absolutely nothing.

Yes, I know the story. It would be nice if people wouldn't make these jokes every time the word overtime comes up and would just discuss basketball officiating. It isn't like this is some new joke you just came up with, it has been said literally thousands of times. Ok, you want to say it once more...but four times in a row? That is over the top.

Quality over quantity. Aesop.

Rule change: burgers and beer for everyone after the 3rd OT. Then we toss a coin.

Burgers and beer.

We actually cover a private school that provides us with an ice-filled cooler of beer, and soda, in the dressing room, after our games. It's always good to have a cold beer after a game, but to get one immediately afterward, it's like you died and went to officiating heaven.

We need more schools like this. It's like happy hour, but free. Nothing quite like a beer in the shower after a game.

1. 3 OTs in basketball, 6 OTs in soccer (prior to the state instituting the kicks from the mark tiebreaker following 2 OTs).

2. I would support the players receiving a sixth foul if the game were to reach 2 OTs. All individuals who were DQ'd for five fouls would be eligible to return and play. My reasoning is that 2 OT equates to a full extra quarter of playing time.

3 to make 2 would accomplish the same thing.:rolleyes:

How long ago did this one go away? Just curious.

It's a fascinating read, even if you're like me and haven't watched a full NBE game since the early 90s.

"At least I don't need to make myself feel cool though cyber bullying."

This ties for the dumbest post ever made on the internet.

1. 3 (I think)
2. None.

MTD Sr. may have to go digging upstairs but I think back in the day the second OT was sudden death...I think. At least at some point, there was sudden death.

Naw, the final score was 6-4.

Helluva defensive game! 😛

Not sure JR does anything to "make himself feel cool."

You don't post much here, so I don't know if you read a lot, but there have been several posts recently that have set the new standard.

If it was, yours just took its place. His actually has a fair amount of truth in it.

I don't ever remember that. But OT used to be 3 minutes. My senior year, we had one OT game and the OT was 3 minutes. That was the 1974-75 season.

I prefer to simply post whatever I feel like posting.

What's ironic is that so many of you decided to condemn Cobra for doing exactly that. Just sayin'....

He also moved into the area of trying to tell everyone else what to post and not post.

I don't know - I just think he was expressing some valid frustrations about certain poster's (arguably) neither funny nor on-topic posts. I happen to share his opinion about those posters, but I would never complain out loud because of exactly what happened in this thread. I don't want to argue about what people should or shouldn't post - that's futile. There are moderators for that. But expressing some frustration over some of the Billy Mac and Padgett posts is valid, in my opinion. If people can pile on chseagle, why not the others? Sure we can put people on ignore. But we also should be able to express some frustration, as other people with higher post counts do all the time.

I don't mind BillyMac and Padgett, though. They actually post about officiating from time to time.

I'm serious on the court. The day this place becomes "serious" all the time is the day I probably quit coming here.

Some people's posts bug me more than other's. I'm sure everyone has their own tolerance level. And I agree that there is a place for the friendly banter and funny commentary. I just think it's fair for someone to post their opinion about it and not have to be told to leave if they do. It's a public forum and I think the moderators do a fine job of keeping this place a great place to get officiating information. Cobra can't dictate what people post any more than you or I could. My only point was that there was a quite a bit of irony in the way many people responded to what he said.

Another Portland area bleeding heart liberal. Political correctness run amok.

Sad Cameron, truly sad.
