Survey Says ...

21. Eliminating the jump ball at the beginning of the game. The visiting team would get first possession and the arrow would be set after legal inbounds.
30. Starting overtime by using the alternating-possession arrow and eliminating the jump ball. Overtime is an “extension of the fourth quarter” in all areas, e.g., direction of play, fouls on each player.

Wait until Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. wakes up from his early afternoon nap and reads this. He's (in the vernacular of the 1960's) "gonna have a cow".

He may get so agitated that he won't be able to get any sleep when he tries to take his late afternoon nap.

It's about time they addressed the pernicious problem of different colored stitching!!!

Seriously, who the hell brought that one up?

Is the survey out already?

Hey! I've been complaining about the different colored stitching on the functioning seam of sleeves for thirty-seven years (way before Allen Iverson got bursitis in his right elbow).

It's about damn good time that the NFHS finally did something about it. The existing rule is an abomination to the game of basketball.

I received the survey link in an email from our Connecticut interscholastic high school sports governing body (CIAC) today (Sunday).

More micro-managing, solutions looking for problems. Do the powers that be do this stuff just to justify their paychecks and authority?

I took it earlier this week.

And, some bodies do not allow a different colored stitching (the rule does say "solid color"), and some do. Heck, some might allow it if it's not too obvious, but not allow it if it is clearly contrasting.

I think you have both been victims of a major spoofing campaign.

The obvious source of this survey was www.theonion.com.

You young whippersnappers have no respect for the "Ancient Days" when we used real Peach Baskets and the Court was enclosed by chicken wire fencing to keep the Ball in Play and to protect the Players and Officials from the fans. Ah, those were the good old days!

Now let me go back to my nap!
