WHAT IS THE LINE BETWEEN HOLDING THE BALL AND CLEAN PLAY?
SHOULD ANYBODY DO SOMETHING TO GET RID OF THESE BAD HABITS?
(please give me some comments).
Yes...the rules are different today than 30 years ago...... And its not going to return to that style.
ReplyDeleteIts obvious that in order to "change these bad habits" of holding....of Arriaga, Goiko or Arrasate catching a singles serve at the 14 line and after 4 steps releasing the pelota from the 11-12 line.....YOU NEED JUDGES TO BLOW THEIR WHISTLE! That is not going to happen because of the substandard quality of referees we have currently in the Florida frontons.
The qualification right now to be a judge at a Florida fronton is this............"I would like to be a judge, can I?".......unfortunately that is all it takes. It could be a 20 year old kid who has a major drug habit......it could be a backwoodsman who is thinking more about killing alligators and wrestling bears than determining if a serve is illegal.......or it could be a man in his 70s with poor vision and needs a paycheck because he has never in his life saved a dime.
You may find this ridiculous but its an actual real life situation. Its sad...who is qualified for the job?
A new fan introduced to the sport of Jai-Alai and sits down to watch his/her first game would not know if a player was holding. All sports evolve and in todays jai-alai, this is where the sport is at. Are the players not holding at a disadvantage vs. players who do take steps? Ask Rekalde. I bet he could answer that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a moronic statement!... “he has never in his life saved a dime”... what does saving money have to do with being a Jai-Alai judge! ... Mr. Pocius, the venom you are spewing is borderline slanderous.
ReplyDeleteCarlito’s cancha hit it on the head, the game has evolved to where it is today, not holding the ball will definitively be a disadvantage for any player. Some players hold the ball more than others, yes that is right however, that is the manner in which those players will consistently play their game making it difficult for a judge to blow the whistle against them.
He aquí un ejemplo. Dos buenos pelotaris, un buen campeonato y un buen tanto... ¡si no fuera porque GOIKO hace falta al restar! Una pena

Its certainly not difficult for a judge, whether qualified or not, to blow their whistle. Your statement is assine! I expected better of you!
ReplyDeleteHere I will explain MY moronic statement. Judges Salary: $1800/$2200 per month...no boleto stipend. Jai Alai judges work the entire performance, not 4-5 games.
With very few exceptions, no current jai alai judge WANTS the job, they need the job. If you are pushing 70 years old, you dont need to put yourself in a dangerous situation judging a sport where the ball is as hard as a rock and going over 100 mph.
Does that make a little sense, Sir?
Mr. Pocius,
ReplyDeleteThis is what doesn't make any sense,
When you wrote,
"or it could be a man in his 70s with poor vision"
If you would have stop right there, your criticism would have had some base. But when you added,
"and needs a paycheck because he has never in his life saved a dime."
That's when your real intentions came out.
Why the venom?
Tu hijo Jon es muy sucio jugando!!!
