I just had to say something. The rules are in place for a reason. Basketball is a contact sport. Safety is not a factor unless the rules spell it out. You cannot just make it up because you have a personal issue with safety. If the players want to be safe, play chess. This is a contact sport where people are trying to prevent movement. Next then you will tell us that you will call an illegal screen on a player because no one told the screener that a screen was coming. After all you have to maintain safety for a legal play because there is a possibility someone might get hurt right?

You are one of the most incompetent people I have ever read on this board. My God, when will you get a clue? It appears to be never.

Peace
