During the course of an AAU tournament this w/e, I had occasion to babble the following retorts to game officials

On a suspect block call, official explained...
"He was moving, Coach."

My reply..."yes, but did he have legal guarding position???

2nd one, offensive player on move toward basket, gets fouled and official proclaims "on the floor"

I fired back, "Sure, he was on the floor, but was he in the act of shooting???"

I think officials who verbalize "On the floor" are making their determination of continuous motion on this aspect alone, not the definition in the Rules Book.

A littlt rules knowledge is a dangerous thing, especially on the bench!!!!
