I assume that you assumed i am ancient? i am 19. it was 3 years ago that i played, highschool varsity i might add, and I played for 8 years straight. Maybee you should keep your mouth shut before you know the whole story. This is 7th/8th grade basket ball. the refs, and coaches are volunteers. tell me...when you are dribbling with your rite hand, switch to your left on a bounce, only one hand at a time on the ball, how is that double dribble? when you are in mid jump, shooting the ball, how can you possibly be pushing someone? these are just a few of the calls made. One of the refs was my age, and i doubt he has reffed even 20 games. Every other call, was different between the 2 refs. they would call a jump ball, then argue as to which side it would go to. you werent there, you did not see this game, so i suggest you shut your mouth. you are the fool. when i said i was ghoin to take it up with the coach, all i ment was I was going to ask him if he had been made aware of this rule. oh ya, another FYI, when I played bb ball in oregon, my High school won state 8 years in a row. I think WE had a fairly decent program. My intention was just to find out if the rule was still in effect. not have someone be a total jerk.
We do get a lot of people here are come to vent, and we do get kinda tired of it. That's why BBR jumped on you. Also, it appears that your rules were local, but you were assuming they were national rules. That also makes it sound as though you don't know what you were talking about.

Also, there is no high school girls program in "oregon" that has won state 8 years in a row. Oregon City HS has won 9 of the last 12, but not 8 in a row. If you played for OCHS, you'd know the rules better than this.

Just some things to think about.
