Agree. And I'm as shocked as you.

What struck me as particularly shocking was the cavalier attitude of the executive director. Not a word of explanation why the hour delay was unavoidable. And to essentially ignore the shooting percentages?

What is the point of the referee's responsibility, under 2-4-1, to "inspect and approve all equipment, including court"?

Ha,
we waited for 30 minutes yesterday for a goal to be hand cranked for a middle school basketball game after the motor broke. The concession lady treated us nice!

I've even been one to help crank the silly thing or to grab a rake in softball to try to get a game in or get it finished. Seems very odd they couldn't take an hour to get this corrected.

Yet no one thought of an obvious solution, put tape down a foot inside the normal ft line

That's not a good solution.
Are you also going to move all of the marked lane spaces? Are you also going to move the 3pt line?

Sure why not

I can either move everyone down a space or tape em too

same with 3...either play with as is or tape it

EVERY FT is shot at 15...not every three is shot at 19'9

In fact i would say a large percentage of 3pt shots in hs games on college courts are shot behind the college 3 anyway
