There have been several discussions on this board and they have not been deleted.  When the conversations stray way off the topic or become personal, the moderator steps in.  I did however hear there was a topic re: sports officiating posted a little while back but it did not stay on here very long.  I believe it was a topic re: the two chapters operating in the area which is a very sensitive subject for some. Now, I believe the person who saw the topic on here but not sure why it is no longer on here unless it was totally inappropriate.  If you are thinking of coming back to officiating, this site should not be your deciding factor.  Come back because you enjoy the sport...not by what others say on this board.  :)  We could use more officials! [/quote] Not only does he or she have to decide if they are returning to officiating but also WHICH chapter to return to. The landscape may have changed since their departure. [/quote] So which chapter does one go with in this area now? I talked to the baseball chapter secretary & he said there are 2 chapters in beaumont now. I do know that the football chapter is TASO.

must not have been yourself

Seems every time it is discussed, it gets deleted. I am an ex-official trying to sort out whether I will return to the sport.

What Is The Word On The 2 Local Basketball Referre Chapters Merging? I Hear The Uil Is Going ToMake Them Get Togather This Year.

Was that the local Beaumont TASO chapter working in Austin last weekend? I thought I recognized one of the refs from there.

Who is the best all-around player in 24-2a?

[/quote]PoppaBearstarr, Again I agree with you. I am sure the UIL top brass will be all for it and I am also sure the TASO top brass will refuse  this ideal. The truth will certainly come out on this sports episode for all the viewers to see. ;D [/quote] The truth is ALREADY out............and everyone realizes who the problem is.  BigDaddy I will give you a hint.......LOOK IN THE MIRROR!!!!! [/quote]Zeek & Poppa, I have talked to coaches from both sides @ summer leagues and tourneys about this "issue". The primary push to re-join these groups is coming from the UIL coaches. They seem to tell a different story when their UIL officials aren't around. The TASO coaches say that, while a few more available refs to pick from might be nice from time to time, they are [u][b]NOT[/b][/u] interested in the old days with the "Man in the Mirror" [/quote]Lt. Dangle, you hit the nail on the head. I knew we could count on an enlisted man to get to the truth.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1038297" timestamp="1313868447"] BigDaddy I have a few questions and am interested to hear your response: 1.  If English set it up, then why did he not attend? 2.  Why was there 7 UIL Represented schools (2 coaches from Central, 2 from Ozen, 1 from Kountze, 1 from PAM and one from Anahuac) and only 2 TASO Represented Schools in attendance at meeting?  3.  Why did the UIL Chapter settle out of court and pay the $4500?  BigDaddy were you afraid to take the stand or what?  :D :D :D :D  BTW, The previous lawsuit went to court over $1200 and TASO won it also. Bottom line is the painting is on the wall for who is doing the right thing, and who is the selfish, egotistical and arrogant refs from this area!!!! [/quote]As we sit here waiting for Big Daddy1's response to your questions, all we hear are crickets in the background. I guess we can take his silence as "OOPS"

[/quote] From what I hear, not going to happen. Would like to hear from those two on this subject. [/quote]AAW, after talking to Bob, it sounds like the TASO chapter has done all they can but to no avail. [/quote]Boone Daddy, you have recieved some false information from who ever Bob is. here are some facts. I have talked to some members of the Beaumont UIL Chapter board  and here is what i was told. On July 11th,2011, the Beaumont UIL Chapter board members, the Deep East Texas TASO chapter board members,several area head basketball coaches and a representative from the state UIL office attended a meeting at the Carol Thomas Center to see what it would take to bring the 2 chapters back togather.This meeting was requested by the head basketball coaches from around the area.After a lot of discussion by all involved the coaches suggested that the boards from both chapters be dismantled and a new board be formed with with no board members from the present boards (Beaumont or Deep East Texas) be allowed to serve on the new board for at least 2 years. That was one of the reasons the chapters spilt,because board members from each chapter had personality problems.The Beaumont UIL Board agreed to this suggestion if thats what it would take to bring the chapters back togather. The Deep East Texas TASO board rejected this suggestion and has not given a reason why they refused to go along with this proposal.The UIL Chapter said they have done everything they can do to bring the chapters back togather, but the TASO chapter has not been willing to do so. Mr. Bob need to check on facts. ::) [/quote]Dear Big Daddy, I assume that since this your 1st post that you are a UIL basketball referee & if you were as "in touch" with the situation as you would like us to believe then you would know who the only Bob there is in this area officiating basketball. Secondly, if the UIL chapter has said that "we have done everything we can do to bring the chapters back togather" then it must be true. Right??

It also appears that they are using "Coota" as bait while they search for the new Ad/ football coach. Lose Joubert and they might lose Coota too... [/quote] ???? [/quote] What/who is "Coota"?

[/quote] He didn't say that, I did. I do know that Silsbee is talking with Joubert but there is another scenario (from within) that could happen. Don't know about Josh Hancock and his interest in the job. I would only assume that maybe the NE of the Golden Triangle could be Jasper and Terry Young being interested. [/quote] Your insight is uncanny.
