you have the right to believe in what you want to.

I was at a college meeting on Sunday. The College Assignment chairman showed a tape of a game of an 0-15 team playing a 10-5 team. The officials T'd up two players in a chippy game. The Assignment Chairman did not use the tape to be critical of the officials for a mistake with the rules, he used the tape to illustrate how to deal with the people and the game. When you move up the focus greatly shifts from rules situations, to people situations. You do not do college ball by being what officials and assignors call a "rules guy." When in this very meeting they started talking about the "interrupted dribble rule and 3 seconds" the first thing came out of one Assignment Chairman's mouth was, "you will be remembered." Trust me, it was not meant in a good way.

Have a great season in basketball and everything else.

Peace
