I quit because you in fact stopped "striving for an answer" and abandoned all connection with reality and reason in your striving to be right. I figured if it is that important to you to be right, I would give it to you. You're welcome.

Nor did you quit by putting my name in your post. Reality is some people will look to sue or at least blame others for silly things like my aforementioned situation. Covering our asses is not dumb at all. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

I'm not criticizing those that would play. I'm merely trying to cover my ass and trying to do what's best when it comes to the rules and the interests of coaches, players, administrators, etc. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

I can't stress this enough: game officials have two jobs--1. Enforce the rules of the game fairly, 2. Look out for the safety of the participants. |

I figured all the concerns happened during the game and weren't apparent during pregame.
BTW, I not saying you did anything wrong, just pointing out that the rule book doesn't specifically mention slippery courts while it clearly talks about the padding on the backboard. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

If you really wanted to put some critical thinking skills on this, and not just rule by rote, you would take a holistic view of safety, and consider the added, and very real risks, of making the players and fans make a second four hour round trip by car or bus to attend the second attempt to get the game in is worth the possibility of a broken fingernail when a player scrapes the bottom of the backboard. |

I was acknowledging your comment as in 10-4 (roger that). Too funny.
