Many years ago, when radio was in it's infancy, I worked at a radio station in the Chicago suburbs. One of my jobs was doing play-by-play of HS, college and semi-pro sports. I worked with the guy who was the sports director at the station. I'm not claiming I was a rules guru back then, but at least I admitted it when I didn't understand a ruling (we had rule books with us, but you know how that goes).

Anyway, I was announcing a HS basketball game with this guy one night and he said that if a team was ahead by more than 20, they were not allowed to attempt to steal the ball from a dribbler.

I still get a chuckle out of that one.
