Thanks fellas. I thought it would be okay for offseason stuff, but I just wanted to be sure. I still don't anticipate doing it on a regular basis this summer. I certainly wouldn't think of doing it...

re:

Thanks. I'm familiar with the Tony Stigliano name and his GSOA. I had considered that camp as well. It sounds like it is more what I'm looking for. I'm a third-year official, and I'm not necessarily...

Whenever I've call "over the back" there has to be some contact that causes an advantage/disadvantage. That's right isn't it? When I report it, it give a push signal. That's okay right?

Unhappy re: SW Basketball Camps

Junkie,

Boy this has to be a year TSU wants to forget. Maybe they can pull a Michigan and say this year never happened.

The African-American stuff has taken this thread way off topic. So this is my effort to bring it back. Grow a goatee in the offseason! It's what I do. Being an official isn't a right, so if you want...

Anyone see the game? Bert Smith was the official who made the controversial non-call. But did he give Mike Davis too much cushion before hitting him with the second technical? He was really trying...

I worked with a 20-year + veteran earlier this week who kept the PA by switching a whistle from pocket to pocket. I'm thinking it takes more effort to remember which team is which pocket so why not...

How did the first comment not warrant a technical? It seems it was a clear effort on the coach's part to show you up.
