Nope! Definitely was not me that said that!

D*mn crew, is your rule book gray?
When there are rules and case book plays in place to cover a specific situation, then the colors are black and white, not gray.
BTW, I bet they didn't teach you that at a high school camp. One of the biggest problems in high school basketball today is that too many officials go to camp, come home, and try to apply college mechanics, philosphies and rules to high school basketball. For those who do this, give us all a break and stop calling HS ball. You're just making it more difficult for the rest of us.
