Mark -- You're arguing against yourself here. Safety IS the first issue for refs, and they should want variances to the rules that promote safety just as your engineer will only respect variances that recognize aand work within safety standards. When the league makes a "variance" that is clearly against safety, it makes sense for refs to question it, or even ignore it. But when the "variance" is TOWARD a better game, a safer game, a more positive basketball experience for some very little people, why would that be a problem?
