Locked: Out With The Old

Somewhere in this forum is a topic about 'Are Refs Accountable'.
Happy was i when i read that one of the refs that 'Out With The Old' decided to bag happened to be not only ranked in the top 30 refs in South Australia, but is also a senior district ref, does ABA, and I am told that earlier in the year, the umpire concerned also umpired an australia game. And you say that this umpire is "unqualified"?

Well, if that is not the qualifications needed to umpire a "under 10 game", as you put that the umpires concerned could not do in your opinion, I don't know what is.

So how about this 'Out With The Old'. You, and all these people who think its so easy to ref, ring Neil on 8444 6416, and put your name down to do the
Level 0 Referee Course on Sunday 25th June at the Distinctive Homes Dome. Its free, so you have no excuses!!!

When you 'successfully' complete this course I want to see you go straight onto a glorified social game, also known as a Division 5 game, at the dome on a tuesday night so I can sit on the end of your court and let you know that.... well.... obviously you are better at writing in forums then your ability on a basketball court

And not only me, but also the three referees that you were so happy to say were simply not good enough will be with me....


So to all you people who get into the refs, now its your time to stand up.... or are you too weak



Have A Nice Day......

Whoops, sorry, just saw names were removed from "Are Refs Accountable", please remove the name above too Mod.

One of the aforementioned referees is a terrible referee with a horrible attitude.

I have my suspicions who Mr Magoo is too. Another aforementioned?

Why do ref's always think that they have to defend themselves or justify their position on the court?

All Ref's Please Note:
You are NOT the most important part of the game!
The game does NOT revolve around you!
You WILL cop abuse if you make a mistake (but you knew that when you decided to put on the stripes)!
Grow up or get off the court!

To the small percentage of ref's who are human, interact with the players, don't sook when someone has a crack at them and do the job they are paid to do....I commend you.

well well stewart gilliagan griffin..... for a minute there i thought that refs were humans. if you wanted refs to take abuse, then get robots to umpire your game. you are an idiot. how bout i sit there and bag you while you coach. refs dont abuse you because they think that you are s**t at coaching, so dont bag them because you think that they are s**t at reffing!!!

The so called ref that does or has done an Australia game. (L Smith)

The only reason that he was available to ref that game was becasue everybody else that could have done the game works during the day.

And this same referee was heard saying to another referee during the state champs "let's screw this coach" and by the 5 min mark of the 1st quarter the coach was out on the pavement. All because of the other ref had this same coach 2 weeks earlier at Mt Barker.

Now Should ref's be accountable for their actions YES THEY SHOULD.

As I wrote before im not talking about JNR'S (except div 1).

If that same ref did that in his ABL game do u think that the evaluator would sit there and say or write down nothing. Sorry Think again.

It would be interesting to see what Trevor Baker had to say on this topic???

PS. C u there next Sunday Bridgeman...

I am not by any shot of the imagination bagging Referee's, just saying that they like in every other area of life should be accountable for their actions.

to do an international game you need a FIBA licence - L Smith does not have a FIBA Licence i doubt he'd have his level 3

it might have been a scratch match
it was not a 'game'

the best ref is one that is not noticed during the game. lets the players play but still keeps the game under control. think about this guy when your next reffing a game. PLEASE.

i still do not believe that Luke Smith would have ref'd a game like that

with 3 FIBA accredited ref's Geoff Weeks Carolyn Tsalkos and Phil Haines in the state there still would be Filmer, Wieland, Clover, McDonald, Maidment, Wilson-Smith, Bridgman, Wellbourn, Just to name a few who would have got the game ahead of said ref.

FIBA sanctioned means FIBA ref
maybe he floor wiped.

how about this, instead of having a lala about the refs, you shut your mouths and let them get on with what they are to do. Threads like this only do damage to the referee community, and makes less people want to umpire. And that's not what we need.
How bout you shut your mouth, cos if you dont less and less people will want to umpire, and then you will sit there and scratch your head and say "why aren't there any umpires out here?"
if you dont umpire, then dont comment about the umpires. I dont say how bad a coach is for saying he quote "deliberately got technical fouls during his games while I am coaching" end quote. How bout you bag that idiot instead.
oh no, my bad, you have to sit in front of your computer and say how terrible the umpiring is, but you cant get off your fat john brown behind and come do it.
Grow some balls and do it yourself. When you get up to the level that these refs are at then comment about them. Until then, i'm sure that you will 'know everything' about the game.....
its idiots like you guys that ruin this great game!!!!


Oh, and he didn't floor whipe, he was in grey and slacks with a whistle running up and down the court

get a life (Mod: Deleted.)
you wonder why you get sh*t refs every week but you write sh*t like this.
how bout instead of calling people cheats you find out what happened. Talk to Boti and find out what was said about "screwing" at state champs. The comments was to Boti because we were joking that the refs of the previous game were on his game. the reaction was gold, and the conversation ended with "nah, they wouldn't screw you that bad.... they can't hate you that much". Take that how you want, but from looking at that it doesnt look like the refs were cheating aginst you. In fact if anybody should be complaining it should be Boti!!
But you have to find an excuse for you acting like a goose at state champs and the umpires taking care of business. Its junior sport (Mod: Deleted.), ZERO TOLERANCE! Its not ABA. remember that. And now you sit behind your computer, almost 2 months after it happened and say that the refs are sh*t..... (kind of reminds me of how you coach and play)
hope to see more refs throw you out.... actually i'll cheer the 2 refs that have your game tonight if they do it. In fact, i'll buy a slab for any ref who finds a way to get you away from basketball. Make that a keg! There it is in black and white, a keg is on the line people.

keep going luke, forget idiots like this. remember, he coaches (Mod: Deleted.).... wow, he's my hero!!!!
