I love doing this mens league near my house. There are a lot of really good players. Most played in college, some had a cup of coffee playing pro ball, either in the states or over seas. Anyway.... their (lack of) knowledge of the rules is entertaining.
They are always barking about 3 seconds. I explained that the count terminates upon the team shooting the ball. He agreed with a stipulation... "the count ends for the shooter but not for the rest of the team".
Another complaint is about contacting the backboard. They want basket interference or goal tending. Again I inform them that contacting the backboard does not apply to BI or GT.
The continuation rule always brings a 'deer looking into the headlights' expression.
There is nothing like having rules knowledge and application.
