Not A Captain ??? Shut Up ...

Of course. Flagrant technical foul, and toss him, his coach, the speaking captain, and the horses that they all rode in on.

Free Throw Whistle ...

Free throws? Good for you. It's in the mechanics manual, but nobody here, in my little corner of Connecticut, ever does it, including me (I would probably be laughed at if I ever did). I wonder how...

Literally ???

Literally? Really? I let all the players, including the captains, know that I'm ready to start, just before I sound my whistle for the opening jump ball. Since I don't ask for a "speaking" captain, I...

Politely Disagree ...

Notifying captains: 2-7. Asking for matchup: 3-3-E.

I know that I'm walking on thin ice if I don't always listen to bob, but how are either of these incorrect?

Let's Go To The Videotape ...

Ask Me About My Belt ...

I agree with you, but, lighten up. This is another one of those "When in Rome" moments.

Here In My Little Corner Of Connecticut ...

Easy answer. Because we're told not to use more than one syllable. That's what our interpreter, and our two previous interpreters, want. That's how I was trained thirty-three years ago, and that's...
