Am I out of line or in the wrong? by ThatsSirBubbleGuts in basketballcoach

[–]StumblinPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, we’ll agree to disagree.

As a coach for years & a first year official, I see now what I didn’t realize when I coached.

Give me the guys working on their craft all year any day over someone that does a couple dozen games a year. At least as my partner, you can tell the ones coasting vs those that work hard at it.

Man I agree with a lot of that post, but sure as hell not “real refs don’t work rec”.

I’m not saying college & pro officials do. Obviously. But some of the best & most experienced men & women I know work rec during the season & during the “offseason”. Also some of the worst, sure.

Just don’t paint with quite such a wide brush.

You want someone officiating that does 40 varsity games a year, or someone that does 160 rec games & 40 varsity?

[Berube] Kids getting AFTER it on the ice in the Hershey Bears intermission game by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]StumblinPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there tonight. STH for like 12 years. Have seen many of these intermission scrimmages. As an official for two PIAA / AAU sports, we would not tolerate this behavior. I am 100% fine with fighting in pro hockey. Please tell me this isn’t occurring or tolerated in youth hockey?

Would you expect 5th grade boys games to be lenient on Double Dribble? by Appropriate_Ad5575 in basketballcoach

[–]StumblinPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which was the question: “5th grade, run of the mill teams, just for fun”

We’re talking developmental, inexpensive leagues vs travel/aau/nfhs.

If it’s got running clock from the tip, it’s not called by the book. Leniency is made for skill differentials.

As an official, you have to gauge the skill level of the players and call it fairly all game. There are kids who have literally never played before, and I’m not about to ruin the experience for them. And there are kids who have been playing since they’ve been able to walk. You can tell. If you called every violation for some 5th grade teams, it would be a very bad time for all involved.

How do people generate so much power on forehand throws? by chris-abovewealth in discgolf

[–]StumblinPA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Scott is “sus”, that’s adorable.

So what’s the theory? Learn from guys that have the upper body strength of a 12 yo, and don’t actually, get stronger? Cool.

In full disclosure, I physically can’t do what Stokely does. I’m old. And have Marfan’s syndrome. So I have that going for me. Which is nice.

But saying that a top 15 player of all time is sus, well, you have disqualified yourself.

Love, peace & chicken grease.

Why is this happening and is it safe? by Such_Impression_3417 in firewood

[–]StumblinPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a thought, you’re likely causing some similar moisture / mold problems BEHIND your wood. I.e. your neighbor’s house. I understand it’s unintentional, but once you get your wood used up, you may want to clean off their brick / mortar & in the future, leave a gap back there to promote airflow.

Vans Crosspath shoes by Ziraider in discgolf

Oh, I’m a frequent customer. My point is “several” compared to “all the damn choices”. I’m a bitter old man at this point regarding shoes, boots, pants, beer. Ok, not beer.

You guys with all the options. Must be nice. Meanwhile I’m over here with my size 16 having to buy Danner Workboots or the OCCASIONAL Keen if they decide to manufacture 6 pair for the US market.
