We already can see videos of the plays we talk about when many Forum members have the ability to post such videos.
I received an Amazon Echo Dot for Christmas and it can do amazing things. In the near future I may be able to say, "Alexa. Here's a basketball play. A1 picks up his dribble to pass to A2. A2 doesn't see the pass as they turn away. A1 runs and grabs the errant pass. What NFHS rules, or case plays, apply here, and can you please download a video showing me an example of such a situation?"
Gutenberg died over 500 years ago. He had a nice run, but it's time to move on.

Ask Alexa what she thinks about wearing a belt to referee...
or posting from old rule books..
. Reading about rules on the forum is fine. I told Dcran i was sorry. I do believe reading the rules and case book over and over is necessary. You read all the rules and plays and see how they fit together like a puzzle. Supplementing reading rules and case book with forum is great.
It has nothing to do with dead trees, etc.
