Where do you live?

Are in my associations that I belong?--And if you are, does not mean I will work with you. I belong to 3 basketball associations and with the expection of the one that is directly in the city, I do not see or work with guys in any of my conferences I work.

Just look at the first page of topics on this board, tell me how many are rules discussions? Then go over to the other sports and tell me how many they are regularly having? You can discuss anything you like, but for something that seems to be so important, why do we here almost never have regular discussions about it? I guess officials all over the place are not having problems with rules ever. I just find it interesting something that is so important, and we do not even discuss them. But how many times have we had this discussion, and how many times have we discussed things like camps and shoes and officials-coach confrontations? But rules is the most important of all of that? And when we do have a rules discussion, it is some fan or coach that thinks it is travelling if the ball does not hit the rim on a shot and the shooter recovers the ball themselves.

I can't remember or care about anything you had said in the past day, let alone over a long period of time. Partly because in my world I do not at all care about our differences, because the last time I checked, differences were apart of life. I hope you pay that close attention to your family as you do by the things I say.

Peace
