What one official "feels is unsportsmanlike" will certainly differ from that of another official. What the rule book says, however, is pretty simple.

This is not about what the NF wants. The NF has it's rules, our state has their own as it relates to what the NF wants. And our State goes a bit further than the NF does, who cares what the NF wants. I have license in the State of Illinois, not for the NF.

Interpretations certainly differ from region to region, but the rules are the rules. E.g., your assignor might tell you not to call 3-seconds, but that doesn't mean that it's not still a rule. All that means is your assignor has decided to ignore a rule that is clearly in place.

Now that cannot happen can it? I thought you told me that I ignored rules based on
my own way of thinking? Now you are telling me that an assignor can tell official's to ignore rules? I guess that makes sense.

Your association also may have some ADDITIONAL rules in place to deal with certain religious situations, but that doesn't have anything to do with what you do or do not call on the court.

This is not based on an association. This was information give directly from the
Illinois High School Association. They players even had letters directly from the
State of Illinois allowing them to wear religious material that is not stated in the NF Rulebook. As a matter of fact, the NF is very explicit in not allowing any
Head decorations and headwear. Read Rule 5-2. I guess the State of Illinois decided to ignore the NF and their rules.

A three-point attempt still must originate behind the three-point line (unless of course your assignor tells you that if a shooter has his/her foot on the line you will call that a 3-pointer in that league). Hey, my assignor said to do it, I don't care if it's right for the game or right for the kids, that's what I'm going to do.

Well Iowa has not Jump Ball, but a coin flip. I guess they do not have the right to come up with their own start of a basketball game?

just curious.

Why don't you read every single post I have ever made? You seem to know everything else about me, you tell me if what have done throughtout my entire career. You seem to know all my philosophies or my application of rules. Better yet, why don't I just brag about my test scores for the past 5 years. That might prove what kind of official I am since test score are how assignors give us games. You tell me? You are all knowing because you worked in Maryland and especially Texas.
I have a better question, how many D1 players are from those two states as compared to mine?
Peace
