close game -- ball flying OOB and player goes to dive out to save it -- about half an inch of his shoe touches the line -- I pass...I can always say that i didn't see his foot touch the line

before the game i realize that the baskets are only 9 feet high -- O well I guess that will be the closest thing to the NBA feeling for those kids that game... [/B]
Well...I tell you what, if you let this go in any game that I am coaching and I guarantee that you would be T'ing up your second coach, and I would tell the AD and your assignor that I never wanted you back again. Enforce the rules you are supposed to enforce. I could care less if it benefits me or not, I cannot stand officials that pick and choose what rules to enforce.

And, if you ever told me "well I may be passing on this for them, but I am passing on this for your team" you'd better be ready to eject me because the next words out of my mouth would be what I thought of your officiating and it wouldn't be pleasant.

You talk about coaching, well I only have time to coach my kids how to play the game ACCORDING TO THE RULEBOOK. I don't have time to teach them how to play the game according to what every different official THINKS the rules should be.
