How do you emphasize a rule that doesn't exist?

Quoting someone does not mean the comments or responses are just about you. Your comments were about the topic. Again, you really need to not be so sensitive. And did I misquote you? These were your words. If you did not want anyone to say anything about them, then why did you say them?

Peace

I've been going to message boards for as long as the internet was a thing. You only quote somebody if you are referring to them. Otherwise, find the person you want to refer to and quote them, or there's a button for a general reply below.

I'm not sensitive, I'm confused as to why you replied to me when you were apparently talking about someone else.

Misquote? No. I didn't say I was talking to coaches. I said what I WOULDN'T say to a coach and it was twisted.

With that said, I appreciate your advice on this board. Thank you.

And I quote a lot of people in the context in the bigger conversation too. I do not always quote people just to challenge or highlight their statements alone. Now if you only quote people to only speak to them, I guess. I do not always do that neither does everyone else. I have been quoted many times to highlight other people's comments, my comments just happened to be the last one about the topic they read.

I really do not see why your panties are in a bunch about this. You said that is not what you meant or your position. I am not disputing what you said or even disputing your position. I take you at your word. I am not arguing that you said something and I "gotcha" with the quote. You do not even have to prove your position to me either. My advice or comments are not that deep. I was giving an opinion on a position previously stated, your comments happened to be about those comments and stated my position. It is not like your reputation is going to be ruined because I commented or took a position with you being quoted. The only way I can see your response to all of this is being sensitive. Sorry, but that is my take because I have said this many times before that this incessant need to talk to coaches about calls and I am suggesting this is over the top from my point of view. If that is not what you meant or feel, than consider yourself absolved from my comments. And if that is what you are saying, you have the right to disagree with my position. It is not as big of a deal as you are making it. No one is accusing you of anything. I am not in a position to accuse you of anything.

Peace

I do not know what Bryan is or isn't. If he is an official he has to get bigger skin or this is going to get a lot harder than what is said here. I work with kids that have much bigger ways to handle themselves and take the comments in stride. I will not shut up at all. If you do not like the post, you did not have to comment in the first place.

Telling someone to shut up also is something we did in kindergarten too.

Now that we've established we're not children, can we all chill out?

I don't think its as complicated as some are making it. The rules say players may enter the "lane" on release. The semi-circle is NOT part of the lane. The POE is clarifying that when NFHS changed the rule they did not intend for players other than the shooter be in this space.

If the defender steps into the semi-circle I will call the violation, the first time and every time (assuming a missed shot of course). It is not that difficult to block out without crossing that line so they will have to adjust to how it is being called or continue to get violations.

As for contact, I called several fouls this last year when defenders displaced the free throw shooter. Coaches never liked it but if you move ANY player backwards out of their position during rebounding action it is by definition a foul.

You"re right. BigCat calls for a truce. If we were all in the same room we'd say our piece and be done with it. thx

Let's see OKREF says he would talk to coaches after the violation. Bryan says he would not. You quote Bryan and use the word YOU: these are YOUR words

"Why do YOU need to tell the coach anything? Do YOU tell them something everything you call a violation they do not like?

Peace"

Sounds to me and likely many others that you are asking and implying that Bryan talks to the coaches. Bryan points out that he doesn't do that. You call him sensitive. if your reply was to OKREF there'd be no issue.

Bryan has tried to let it go a few times. You keep replying… and digging your hole deeper.

I keep replying because I can. No one is going to do anything to me either way. So not sure what hole I am digging? Even if I felt he said what he claims he has not said, what is going to happen? Nothing.

Peace
