Are you sure that you didn't mistakenly write to Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.? He's the only person in the world that likes jump balls. Something about being a college roommate of James Naismith.

I suppose that the NFHS is upset that we've done away with chicken wire all the way around the basketball court? It's rooted in the history of the game. That's why basketball players are still called "Cagers".

Billy will tell every one that I am not a fan of AP and I have humorously referred to it as an abomination upon the game. In reality, I can live with even though going back having Jump Balls is still better way to put the Ball back into play especially for Held Balls.

What is really an abomination upon the game and I do mean that seriously, is the Restricted Arc in NCAA Men's and Women's, NBA/WNBA, and FIBA, and the Lower Defensive Block in NCAA Women's. I am going to end my comment now because it "really grinds my gears". There also two other things in NFHS and NCAA Men's and Women's that also "grinds my gears" but I don't want to go into it now.

Off topic. Fifteen yard penalty. Replay down.

I think the correct penalty is an Indirect Free Kick.

Objection, Your Honor! The statement by my opponent is irrelevant.

I would also assess an administrative technical foul for content irrelevant to the topic requiring me to enter it into the scorebook.
