Actually JR, you are the one that doesn't have a clue. No doubt your knowledge of the rules is beyond approach. But you do nothing to better the game. I am a player, and if you have ever had a player run underneath your feet, it is the scariest feeling in the world.
Tell me something JR, have you ever played the game? I hear you defend the rules but I never hear you defend the game. The person that wrote that article is trying from afar to defend the game. Just read the examples you moron. Read how many players have been seriously hurt by this crazy rule that you defend so vividly . the guy that wrote the article maybe a nobody in the business of basketball, but he hit it on the nail when he said Niasmith, the guy that we acknowledge as the one who invented the game, would roll over in his grave if he knew this was happening.
I'm going to go old school on you JR. In the early days of bb, they used a apple bucket for the goal and hung it on the balcony. When the team scored a goal, there was a mad rush up the balcony and to the bucket to get the ball out, which determined who got the ball next. Our inventor saw that this was a problem, not so much who got the ball next, but the fact that someone could get injured trying to get to the ball next. So they cut a hole in the bucket, to allow the ball to fall thru. Eliminated the problem.
You, Julie and most of the rest here are foot soldiers, you do what you are told to do, and you do it well. When it comes to having a clue of what's going on with the game you call, you don't have a clue and you hate on anybody who tries to make it better.
What separates me from you. I have a vision and you can't steal my vision by insulting me or ignoring me. I want to leave the game better than what I found it. I can no longer play but the players are the product, their well being and safety is paramount and the founding father would agree that that rule, who got there first is ridiculous, and it's being taught by the coaches.
