So, I was on DDL (daily dime live, for those of you not
familiar with ESPN's NBA features) tonight checking out the
fun talk about LA/OKC.
Jim Cavan, one of the guys from www.knickerblogger.net, made
an interesting comment:
______
Jim Cavan (KnickerBlogger): I should talk to Scoot. I've
spent an inordinate amount of time thinking of how a call
your own system would work.
______
I, of course, quickly replied that there is a sport that
does use a "call your own" system and mentioned that there
is a semi-pro league. Included links to USAU and AUDL.
Surprisingly, my message was made public, which means I
probably just exposed a few thousand people to
ultiamte/USAU/AUDL, which is never a bad thing.
But, it gets better.
I sent another post explaining that even at college/club
nationals, players make their own calls.
His reply:
________
Jim Cavan (KnickerBlogger): I think by virtue of being
faster-paced, basketball would pose challenges ultimate does
not. But I still think it could work.
________
And, I agree, there are a lot more moving and colliding
parts in basketball and more contact that is ambiguous, so
it would be tougher to self-officiate. But, apparently
ultimate players are not the only ones who have thought
about self-officiating as a system for regulating sports.
And...I got three posts on DDL in one night. That is a
record for me, I think.
Just fun stuff.

I am kind of depressed that 430 people looked at this and
not one of them thought it interesting enough to respond. :)
Oh well.

Don't be so hard on yourself. There was nothing to disagree
with. rsdnospam doesn't have a "like" button but if it did
then you would have gotten 215 likes.

Nice detail dannonjax,
Thanks for passing it along.
I've never had cable except for 8 months on Oahu in 1989 so
I miss out on much espn sports/pop culture minutiae such as
that.

and did you bother emphisizing that its the traditioalist leaders of
usau that are the ones all caught up in maintaining that outdated/
archaic system?

AWAY from being a self call system.......and clarify that the audl was
actually a distinct shift for the sport going to a normal/modern
reffed system?
seems like you are attempting to propagate the anti ref agenda that
usau advocates????

fashion.........ITS CALLED PICK UP. but theres an obvious reason that
system isnt used in real/official comp.......and "apparently" ultimate
players ARE THE ONLY ONES that havent figured out why this is.
