When I did my floor training as a brand new official, we reffed 4th and 5th grade game or something like that. During one of my breaks, my observer and I had this conversation:
Him: "What's the purpose of the 3-second rule?"
Me: [deer in headlights. totally overwhelmed.] Confused silence. . .
Him: "It's to keep the big man from camping out under the basket and getting easy scores, right?"
Me: Nodding. . .
Him: "Do you see any big men out there?"
