Last night, I had a coach set a new record for the most rules not known. I started keeping track about 10 seconds into the game. He made it obvious he did not know these rules by his comments. Here is a partial list as well as I can remember:
3 seconds
5 seconds closely guarded
5 seconds inbound
10 seconds backcourt
traveling
illegal dribble
backcourt violation
no timeout when other team has ball
player requesting timeout when falling OOB
delay of game on inbound
delay of game following made basket
delayed violation on free throw
shooting team violation on free throw
no jewelry rule
cannot be "traveling" on inbound play
can run baseline after made basket
technical includes possession
technical is two shots
technical counts as team foul
technical counts toward player DQ limit
and of course, he didn't know the number one rule of basketball - I am always right.
