Me?
Was it really that bad?
I believe that I intelligently contributed (even though I'm a high school official) to this thread with multiple posts on different situations presented in the NCAA-W final game (and similar situations):
1) Caitlin Clark’s technical foul (I posted about it minutes after Nevadaref without reading his post), the possibly confusing-to-some complex compound sentence written rule (but with clear purpose and intent), and the difference between the NCAA rule (as infamously observed in the NCAA-W final) and the NFHS rule seeding some future possible high school confusion.
2) Coach Mulkey on the court and accidentally coming into contact with the official (I was the first to post about it).
3) Inconsistent hand checking calls (I was the first to post about it).
4) Angel Reese taunting Caitlin Clark (I was the first to post about it) and Clark taunting South Carolina opponents, touched upon a possible racist component, the taunt's possible effect on Reese’s NIL money, and the effect of NIL money on college basketball in general.
5) A reply to JRutledge’s “not calling a foul, but gave them the out of bounds kind of situation” post and how this ancient philosophy may have changed over the years (at least it has for me).
6) A reply to JRutledge’s “that does not mean you change the entire rulebook” (regarding calling or not calling in important tournament games) post with a “water on the floor delay” in an important high school tournament game post.
7) An agreeing reply to JRutledge’s “I make a habit of not chasing any basketball” post with a similar post about keeping your eyes on the players (and how I almost lost a basketball).
I don't recall a single instance of answering my own question in the next post (but I could be wrong).
Of course, granted, not all of my posts were fully 100% on topic.
I really, really hated reading
Pride and Prejudice, and I know barely more than the starting lineups of the Red Sox and Celtics.
