Also, if you really think the NBA rules are better, is it because they allow more public input? Because they take more public discussion into consideration? Evidence?
It's because they take the game into consideration. They also learn from previous expereinced that certain things don't work. Like for instance, if I blow my whistle, and a split second later the horn goes off to end the game. 1 second or less or not, the game is not over because my whistle blew before the horn went off. Simple. Federation says if one second or less game is over. So you want to have my account deleted because I say, put the .9 back on the clock because I have definite knowledge that the game is not over. You want me to turn my head and enforce the rulebook, even though we all know this is wrong. Better yet, do you recall a time when a black woman was put in jail for sitting in the front of the bus. The law states and we just enforce the rules.

You're calling for my account to be deleted. Isn't that like punishment by hanging. And what did I do wrong again. Oh, that's right. I put .9 back on the clock because i had definite knowledge. Okay, I'm a year ahead of my time, the rule didn't change until this season. I would have bet my life that i could do this, I'm the referee. Trying to say that i made this up as I went alone is wrong. I did not know that was there. The arguement that I am making up my own rules is propaganda. I was shocked after JR printed the rule, and equally impressed that the NBA has addressed it.

Last, as far as people being kicked out. I have no facts to add, just the end results tells me that the comittee is not listing nor addressing things that need to be addressed. The bridge is going to collapse in the Fed. because they are not listening to the voices telling them we got major problems here. Just fix the loopholes and quite worrying about everyone doing it the same. Everybody will caught up once you bring the rules up to 2007. I'm sorry to have to break this to you old-farks, but one-day, you're going to go to a HS game, and wonder, what ruleset they are playing under because it won't be the Fed. Vegas is using a shot-clock for there hs games. The problem is the world is changing, Fed is staying the same. We know a lot more today then we did yesterday, but we are still under the same old outdated code. BTW, we got the APTI changed, that certainly took us in the right direction.
