officials

PV your dead wrong about Coach V, He is probably one of the least vocal coaches we work with. Actually he is a pleasure ot work with b/c he understands the game and isnt a whinner like the rest of them.

And why would he whine? It has done been pretty fairly commented on that their style of play isn't called, even though it could be, so what he whine about?

there also needs to better way of evaluating and disciplining officials.

Ok I have to ask this, and lord knows that I'm not defending TJ (nothing against him, just that his name was mentioned on this thread by an official).

Its said that he doesn't know what the 3 second rule is, but we have had an official or more than one official say "I have posted this before, calling three seconds is a chicken crap call. If a kid is moving around the lane, one foot in, one foot out but still moving and not CAMPING or standing there with the ball, I will not call it. NEVER! I hear people scream "3 seconds" even though shots are being made on goal. You can stay in that lane until the cows as long as there are shots being took on goal.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, is that the coach not knowing the rule or is that an official who interprets the rule a particular way or sees a rule a particular way, and not what it says? Does the rule book say that a 3 second call is called but only if nobody from the stands yells 3 seconds? I mean come on, you can't sit on here and say that people or coaches don't know the rules when the rules apparently aren't so crystal, if they are open to interpretation or enforcement due to something being said or whatever.

The speed limit is 55 on 23 between Pound and Wise. Me saying there was no traffic, while that may be true doesn't give me the right to go 75 or if I do and get a ticket, then the 'this is how I think it should be' defense doesn't work, shouldn't it be that way with the rules?

Exactly, let Scotty V tell the refs what to do and the Blue Devils will put the hand check on you.

It's comforting to know that Scotty is over the officials. Hopefully he can have a conference with them before the game tomorrow night so he can tell them exactly how he wants the game called. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Thats just it..... some coaches including TJ keep yelling 3 seconds after a shot. They dont understand the rule. I used to think he had a deep passion to win the game. Now I just think he is out of control. He bereted an offical one night and even went as far as telling the offical to look his kids in the eye and to explain to them why he was cheating them. To me that is unprofessional. He is supposed to set an example to the young men. With the attitude he displays, do you actually think he is setting a good example to the young men? I dont. He always blames the officals for his defeats. When is he ever gonna allow his team and hisself to be held accountable?

wow.....that's like the pot calling the kettle black...how professional is it for you, a supposedly impartial official to be on this sports message board blasting a high school coach?

He [censored] sure got it, the last two calls on Baldwin were awful and how that was GC's ball when the kid from GC was laying out of bounds is beyond me. Scotty V worked them tonight, and to the guy who said Scotty V doesn't whine, I hope you were there tonight. Two great games, sad to see the kid from CW go down like that early. Somebody said he'd already torn his ACL?

Coach Robbins knows more than most of the refs in this area, I've seen them apologize to him on numerous occasions on a rule interpatation.

On the GC player laying out of bounds - hmmmm maybe called timeout before he hit the floor (after being shoved out of bounds too I might add - no call)
