What was I wrong about Cameron? The rule change was to focus on moving around a screen which was a disaster when they made such a big deal the year before. Now they changed the rule to what everyone thought it should have been and forgot they had case plays and rulings that covered other aspects for players running off the court that were not to avoid a screen. Before it was clear those situations were a T. That is not changing the subject, that is addressing the flaw in their rule which I would not be surprised will be clarified next year.

What were you wrong about??? Let me count them...

It would be a technical for leaving the court for an unauthorized reason.

Wrong penalty for this rule...it is a violation, not a T.

Casebook play 10.1.9 fits this much more than you are describing. The player did not return to the court in a proper manner after a timeout...

Has nothing to do with the play being discussed. The player did return but left during a live ball.

SITUATION 11: The score is tied 60-60 with four seconds remaining in the game. A1 has a fast break and is near the free-throw line on his/her way to an uncontested lay-up. B5, running down the court near the sideline, intentionally runs out of bounds in the hopes of getting a leaving-the-floor violation called.

Not relevant...in this situation, the player intentionally went OOB in an attempt to draw a violation to gain an advantage (an unsporting act) and a violation alone would not penalize the action. In the play being discussed, the player was not attempting to gain an advantage.

Here is another play that covers some similar situation and does not say just call a violation.

SITUATION 12: Team B has just scored ... Substitute B7 leaves the bench area, enters the court and blocks the shot. RULING:...
[/b]

Again, not relavant...bench personnel delibertately interfering with a play is hardly the same as a confused player leaving the floor. T for leaving the bench and the unsporting act of blocking the shot.

Here is also the other rub to this, do not let this happen. Take your time to make sure all the players are on the court and you will not have to worry about calling anything.

Now blame it on the officials when it is OBVIOUS they started play with 5 players on the floor.

You just do not want to admit I was right now like you do not want to admit I was right about what people thought of Adolph Rupp while the man was alive. The Texas Western players were interviewed recently on ESPN Classic Now show about the movie Glory Road and they talked openly about Rupp and the things he said like (5 Black players could not beat white players) and the way they felt about it when they kicked Kentucky's behind in 1966. Rupp not a racist, yeah right. Is that something you do not want to talk about anymore?

Peace

What does that have to do with this discussion? Or are you trying to turn yet another discussion where you've made unsupportable statements into a racial debate?

It's your typical MO, If you can't argue the points of the discussion or find support for your erroneous statements, distract everyone with another topic or with insults.
