Nope, I have no issues with what they are doing, just keep that mess up there. But you probably do not know they border our state. They can do what they want as I do not have a license. See I do not brow beat what other states should do because it is not in the rulebook. BTW, this is not a playing rule, but an administrative action. States have been doing that for years.

Peace

Do you really think that I don't know US geography?
I've driven from Chicago to Madison.

And if you did would that somehow change the situation and not allow them to do this? You are silly.

Yep, it is administrative not a playing rule such as what type of foul gets assessed during a game. Now what was the situation in the other thread?...hmmm

The point of my comment is I hope the IHSA or NF does not think this is a good idea. Maybe if they want to encourage those to not use certain terms, but please do not put this on the officials. I am not you, I do not care what other states do with their rules or officials. I do not have to work there.

Peace

To me this should be a directive to game management. If I hear the crowd yelling, "start the bus up" I am going to assume they are letting the bus drivers know the game is about over and in Wisconsin, you want to get on a warm bus in January.

Ain't that the truth!! There were a couple mornings it was -40 with wind chill when I lived in Wisconsin. And that wasn't even up north.

Even if a directive is sent to game management, how reasonable is their chance to successfully handle a crowd of students??

This is to be expected when mommies are running things and their babies get hurt feelings during a game.
Do any of you know a dad in America that cares about such nonsense?

Wink

When I was in HS (a few centuries ago) and an opponent was going to shoot a FT, we would chant:

SEE THAT BASKET
SEE THAT BALL
C'MON STUPID
HIT THE WALL

Pretty much all the boys from our school would chant this at home games but not on the road. We realized we were outnumbered on the road so we didn't want to deal with the ticked-off other kids.
