More than once I have considered directing certain coaches, fans, and fellow officials to this site so that they may gain a greater understanding of the rules. The only thing preventing me from doing so is the fear of too many "fanboys" and other trouble makers causing a disturbance in here.

I had a coach tell me during pregame tonight, that he just recently learned after 12 years as a MS girls HC, that a player can dribble up over their head without violating. I clarified that unless the ball comes to rest it is nothing.

It is amazing what rule myths are out there.
No fanboy has survived a single debate in here.
