I think that limb would break. Eli's last post here was in May of '04. Ronnie's show was on the air after that, I'm pretty sure. That mandate might be an additional factor that would prevent his return, but I don't think that's why he decided to stop posting.

almost everybody was questioning everything he said. I believe someone even questioned him on a NBA rules application (can't remember for sure).

I think this is the reason he left the forum (I met him briefly at camp in summer '04). He got a pretty rough reception here, that's for sure. But not b/c of his NBA rule knowledge. It was b/c he and "tony" and Brent were
perceived (by me, as well) as telling us to apply NBA philosophies and rules to NCAA and HS games.
After meeting Eli (again, very briefly), I'm truly sorry that we chased him away. I was genuinely happy for his advancement.
