I am still trying to learn, understand, and properly use the "what's ok at what level and what age" philosphy and sometimes find it difficult, especially after reading the differing opinions on the board. Makes good reading and food for thought for me though......and I certainly appreciate everyone's differing opinions as they add to my kit bag......
If you are referring to the situation that took place in the National Championship game this ball never was half-way to the ceiling. The player that slammed the ball was not mad at an official's call or doing anything in frustration other than what he had not done. And if you heard a lot of veterans on this site talk, they suggested this would not have been a T at any level. Not JH, wreak, HS varsity, Division 3, Division 2 or Pro-Am.

Peace
