I can't wrap my arms around this.

You use three different rule sets....and also concern yourself with shirts being tucked in? Just let it go and have some fun!

the shirts is a joke

the three sets of rules is because no one is sure of any one rule so they will say, well in college you can...in the pros you can etc...

If you're in Pittsburg, you won't be able to see this group.

If I'm ever in Pittsburgh near the airport, I'm getting on the first flight to any place outside Pennsylvania.

Three seconds!!

I haven't called three seconds in fifty years, and I have only been officiating for 45 years, !

Is this Old School?

No good can come of this...

It's really nitpicking to expect a guy to get a 3 second call while straddling the lane line in a pickup game with no ref. Maybe you should join a structured league that has referees. Or maybe you should become a ref. Sounds like it's a logical career move.

ha...i have 0 patience. id throw moms and dads out like it was my job

if hes in there for 5 seconds, no biggie. i know im not allowed to repeat myself but i kid you not....hes in there a 1/4 of a minute and if you body him up and ease him out of the lane he calls foul

you know...youre general pick up shennanigans

Such a player is in the lane until BOTH feet touch the floor outside the lane. Merely picking up the foot in the lane is not sufficient.
