Sometimes when I have some time to fill in my classroom, I'll give the students (I teach 5th grade) situations from the case book for fun. They enjoy it. Other than that, I use the rules book when something goofy happens in a game I'm working, watching, or hearing about.

The point of my post is exactly what you are saying. The last couple of days there have been several issues that have arisen that are just dumb. The 3 sec. thread and the disqualification thread are perfect examples. If you own a rule book then there should be no questions. As far as it being our bible, it along with the case book of course, I really dont see how you can despute this. Every call we make during a game is addressed in this small little book. I am not asking can you quote the entire thing front to back, I am just curious as to how many experienced officials actually refer to it during the course of the season thats all. I'm not trying to say, as you seem to infer, that there is nothing more than that book to officiating. There is much much more. Just seems as though some of the recent posts, mostly new posters don't have or havent read the BOOK.
