LOL.. you know what is interesting?
My female roommate, who I am trying to get to start officiating, made this comment as we were sitting here looking over this and many other posts.
" Why does it seem like some of those guys are just looking for ways to screw the players and show how smart they are for knowing the exact rule? "
I attempted to explain the " spirit of the rule " theory....
" So is it by the book... or " spirit "? How the **** am I supposed to know? "
ahhhh, the joys of officiating!
