Rut, I think I caught your point. At a clinic I went to a couple weeks ago, a very prominent NCAA official started the clinic by saying "know the rules." But the rest of the clinic focused on how to apply our knoweledge of the rules to game situations. We threw out the rule book details and said this is how we are going to call the game.
Look guys, you can't possibly "throw out the rule book"
until you know the damn rules. What rut says might seem
appealing to some of us (well, if you can follow it)
but the bottom line is you can't be a fair judge of the
game unless you have an understanding of what you are
judging. And unfortunately rut has demonstrated a
piss-poor understanding of the rules along with an incredibly stubborn refusal to accept criticism when he is
wrong. Not a good combination.
