It is a well known fact that I do not like the AP Rule and Billy and I have fun with our positions. That said, I would never (with apologies to the late J. Dallas Shirley), if I were a member of the NFHS or NCAA Rules Committee propose a rule removing the AP Rule from the Rules Book, nor would I vote for such a change if someone proposed such a change (unless I know that the rule change would be approved by at least a 95% yes vote). Why? While I do not believe it was a rules change that needed to be made, and while we have resurrected old rules (i.e., not shooting free throws for all TC fouls, yes, read the rules from "The Ancient Days") I am getting too old (and lazy, heck I am too lazy to toss the ball just once a game or chop in the clock to star the game as the U1) to have to toss the ball more than once a game, .

So I will continue to denounce the AP Rule as an abomination upon the game and Billy will tell this bald old geezer to be quiet, . And everybody will have a good laugh.

MTD, Sr.
