JRutledge, I have NEVER said you are required to do anything in the event of a serious injury but to provide the opportunity for help to get there unimpeded.
Why do you not see that!!! Why do you keep assuming that I am asking you to preform surgery with your whistle? Please read the paragraph that you have now skipped twice in my original post.
I love this board for the knowledge that I have gained about the rules and their interpretations. I love the debates that you and officiating family have about said interpretations.
I have no knowledge of the rule book that says you need to do or not do anything when a kid gets hurt. If you can sleep at night knowing that you ran away from a kid in need, then you have LOWERED my opinion of many officials.
My concern for the safety and well being of the participants is the "very reason" that you "have little respect for many coaches." Do you realize how heartless and insensitive that makes you sound?
Generally speaking, why does it always seem like you have an us against the world attitude towards players, coaches, and fans? Your knowledge of the rules is amazing and I look forward to reading many more of your posts, but you must have really been burned somewhere in the past by a player, coach, or fan.
Anyhow, we disagree about this topic completely. I'm going back to discussing with Julie/Rainmaker the rim vs release aspects of free throws now.
Goodnight JR
