OK,
David:
I'll continue:
I have never seen a basketball ref carry a rule book on to the court. At any level.
I have never seen a football official carry a rule rook onto the field. At any level.
I have never seen a wrestling official carry a rule book to the mats. At any level.
And it goes on and on . . .
You BETTER know the rules well enough before you walk onto the field.
David, just WHAT would you look up in the rulke book anyway?
We have learned on this (and other boards) that the rules that are discussed are usually rulings based in a great amount of research and tradition.
So as I leave this thread I just offer the following advice to all of you:
"Leave the rule book in your car!
"Know it, and live it . . . but most of all, Leave It!"
