game play situation #2
I will agree with those who answered a foul on the player lying on the floor. As an ex-player and now official myself common sense tells all fans, players, coaches, and officials that a player who makes an athletic play at the rim level and grabs a rebound is entitled to land with his feet firmly on the floor without having to hurdle or dodge a player lying sprawled out on the ground. I would have a foul here.
As far as the comments about going to camp and applying NCAA and NBA rules and philosophies to high school games, I have no comment for such low blows. However, there aren't enough good officials out there to begin with from middle school and on up the playing levels. Let's keep a big picture approach and not direct comments at people who do work in several higher leagues and high school at the same time. The game is in NEED of good officials and good people
