Credit Where Credit Is Due

From bossref: "I believe that what you are seeking is what I developed in the early 1990s and that is a one page handout of 25 of the most misunderstood rules. I was happy to have given it to a gentleman in Connecticut a few years ago, who, along with others on the officials forum board, did a fantastic job of expanding it and providing better clarifications."

From BillyMac: "Thanks to the following Official Forum Basketball web site members for their contributions in developing this list: bossref, Hartsy, Jurassic Referee, Camron Rust, Mark Padgett, Nevadaref, Mark Dexter, Dan ref, mdray, Jimgolf, elecref, Assignmentmaker, IREFU2, David M, JeffW, Back In The Saddle, and rainmaker.

bossref is correct, when I was asked to compile a list of misunderstood rules, rather than "reinventing the wheel", I decided to look for some preexisting lists on the internet. bossref's list was exactly what I was looking for, and was the prototype for the list that I used back then, and have updated, and posted, on then Forum on a few occassions.

bossref: Much thanks for the original list, and thanks for calling me a "gentleman". I'm sure that some Forum members would disagree with your description of me, but I'll accept it anyway, and by the way (old joke) "there are not many of us left."
