If you want to argue politics online, you must follow these rules: 1. Find the most insane person or persons on the opposing side and define the entire party as them. 2. When your party looks bad, ignore repeatedly. Only argue again when things are better or go back to #1.

@Mr______Snrub @jayhaykid Nacho man!

@brianbuck13 @jayhaykid

A great way to make the person sitting behind you hate your guts

@Dook_Buck @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore That’s my job now? After your owns words killed your arguement? Go to bed. Maybe tomorrow you can’t tweet at John Smoltz and tell him he doesn’t know the strike zone bc you’ve watched a bunch of games on tv

@brianbuck13 @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore Great. Post a second example similar to Hurley’s actions.

Having reffed both sports at a very high level, I can tell you that the atmosphere in basketball and dealing with coaches is very different. It’s all game long, a constant back and forth, and there is a mutual understanding between basketball refs and coaches. It’s part of what makes reffing it so much fun. I’m happy that Roger Ayers (who always referees games at a Final Four level) handled the end of the game the way that he did. This was not a confrontational situation. Uconn hit a buzzer beater a few seconds before the viral moment between Ayers and Hurley. Ayers is telling Hurley that the game isn’t over yet (there was a clock adjustment from 0.02 to 0.04 - which is notable for catch and shoot). Hurley isn’t physically contacting him, he’s just between Ayers and the scorer’s table. I’ve been in some wild environments/end of game scenarios both in basketball and football. They feel surreal and you are in a state of shock to an extent. This is how great officials handle these situations, so kudos to Roger Ayers and congrats to UConn.

@Dook_Buck @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore You just said culture and experience playing as part in analyzing body language. His culture and experience is in refereeing basketball games. That has more credence than yours! Your own words are sinking you

@brianbuck13 @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore No. I’m saying that wrt *this* incident, Gene is in the minority. And I’m saying that his experience as a rules analyst provides no advantage wrt to non-verbal communication.

@Dook_Buck @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore But, you have basically said yours are better than Steratore’s , correct?

@brianbuck13 @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore Your comprehension skills are not good. All humans analyze actions all day long, in accordance with their own culture and experience. It’s in their DNA. If this seemed normal to you, fine.

@Dook_Buck @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore Essentially you’re saying refs, but Steratore in general, does not have the capacity to survive bc he can’t not recognize the body language that you (an expert) recognize. I feel if I were a ref and I agreed with you I would be LIVID with Hurley.

@Dook_Buck @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore You called it not a “normal interaction between coach and ref” and states that “recognizing body language is necessary for survival” If you stick to your statements, wouldn’t any referee with integrity be screaming murder about such a an act out of sheer pride of their job?

@Dook_Buck @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore Again, where is the ref outrage over the incident? Based on your body language theory there would surely be a unified front criticizing him? What is their benefit to defend him?

@brianbuck13 @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore I said that you don’t need to be a referee at recognized that Hurley‘s actions were not normal. Hell, even Hurley said, “I was almost expecting Roger to be happy for me, but then I realized oh no this is a ref."

@Dook_Buck @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore If it wasnt basketball, then why make your idiotic statement? And also why aren’t refs coming out against Hurley? Why are they downplaying the incident? Shouldn’t they be like you (well, minus the reffing for you) and ripping Hurley?

@brianbuck13 @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore Actually, you are. But the point is “this isn’t about basketball at all.” This a basic human function that every person employs all day long.

@Dook_Buck @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore No, I’m just not going to argue someone who begins a retort to an accomplished ref by flexing watching games on their couch. You sound like a crazy person.

@brianbuck13 @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore And you’re unarmed for this discussion.

@Dook_Buck @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore You’re trippin like Trajan Langdon

@brianbuck13 @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore This isn’t a basketball matter. It’s not an interpretation of basketball rules. It’s the basic human function of reading body language.

@Dook_Buck @TrekinaTardis @GeneSteratore Regardless of what you think of the play, you sound insane talking to a referee like that about experience lol

@TrekinaTardis @brianbuck13 @GeneSteratore One of us needs a basketball referee to explain what we saw with our own eyes. One of us doesn’t.

@Dook_Buck @GeneSteratore I mean, please reread your tweet with a straight face.

@GeneSteratore We’ve all watched more basketball than you’ve reffed, and recognizing body language is necessary for survival. So please stop with the “normal interaction between coach and ref” nonsense.

@Mr______Snrub I got the vibe of the grifting. Courses, classes etc. yeah, all that info is out there. Constantly talking over callers, ripping simple questions. His word is law to everyone’s financial situation.

@brianbuck13 He's unintentionally hilarious. Such a pompous asshole. He's also a grifter.

Just started listening to Dave Ramsay. Wow, there is a lot of Francesa in him

@always_noyne Yeah, he even came back after the break to admit it was harsh, but her own good to financial recovery yada yada

@always_noyne Oh absolutely. If I saw someone do it, I’d be trying to hold back laughing

@always_noyne Example of today “so you took out a loan and went full stupid. You know what you’re useless. You have an excuse for everything” then starts mocking her voice

@always_noyne I did it last week and fell down in front of an old couple. Slightly embarrassing
