With all due respect, Peter, that is one humongous load of crap. I cited the exact language used by your buddy. I cited the NFHS and NCAA rules that were pertinent to that language. He was wrong. You both are completely out of your area of expertise when it comes to basketball rules. That's painfully obvious. However, the both of you continue to argue something that you know nothing about, and isn't that big of a deal in the first place. I wouldn't dream of commenting on baseball rules, mechanics, procedures, etc. That's because I don't know them. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to stop you two.
And btw, I'll tell you the same thing that I told Windy. Resumes don't mean squat when you're wrong. And trying to bolster your own argument or opinion by demeaning the person that you're arguing with- whether it's me, Rut or some unknown Aussie that you got a problem with- doesn't give you very much credibility either.

I did not mention resumes, you did. Rut mentioned them too, He is always talking about all of the positions that he holds.
All Windy pointed out was that a call got changed in a real game at a high level. When you read all of the BS, fire and smoke, that's all he said. Somehow a call got changed. We don't need to be basketball officials to understand that a call got changed after two officials confered.
Whether it was illegal or legal, we don't know, but it got changed. To the laymen, it looks like one official overruled another. In baseball and I suspect basketball, perception is reality.
And by the way, when it comes to rules, baseball is the same as basketball. One umpire cannot overrule the other. But to the fans in the stands, we see it happen more and more. How can that be occurring when it is against the rules. Windy is pointing out hypocisy. The rules say one thing, but another thing occurs.
And finally, your cut and paste tactics are unethical and misleading. I call people liars who regularly engage in misleading activities. It was a classic presentation technique of the man from down under and I included the bit about sheep because I knew that it infuriated him. I was humoring the objects of his many distortions who might be reading this. I really have no idea what he did in the privacy of his own barn on a sheep station.
I am headed home for the evening and I don't post at night or on weekends so you will have the last word. This is the latest that I have stayed at work in months.
