Identical Numbers ???

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

The question that the younger officials should be asking is why can a Team not have one Player wearing 0 and one Player wearing 00?

The answer to my rhetorical falls in the collective lap of the NCAA Men's and Women's Committees and really has nothing to do with the Scorebok itself. Software was developed that that could be used as electronic score books and the software was such that it could not differentiate between the separate numbers of 0 and 00. And that is why a Team can only have a 0 or a 00 and not both.

I think younger officials have a lot more to worry about and question than this.

Bob:

On the contrary I have had both young officials and not so young officials ask why? And I tell them I have posted because that is the reason that the NCAA gave when it adopted the Rule.

Knowledge of the reason(s) for why a Rule was written is a good thing. Lack of knowledge of why a Rule was written in a certain way is not a good thing and gives us such nonsense as the Restricted Area (NCAA Men's and Women's), Lower Defensive Block (NCAA Women's) and Secondary Defender (NFHS, and NCAA Men's and Women's). I am done with my bald old geezer rant.

Have a great weekend.

I agree. And, I still think that there are 100 other things that the young official should learn before why 0 and 00 are not both allowed.

Only a hundred?

Because the rule book says so. They have better things to contemplate I would hope.

I half wonder why 00 was ever permitted in the first place. It’s not like the software could distinguish between 01 and 1 any better than it could between 00 and 0, yet we don’t see 01 as a legal option like 00 is.

I won’t die unhappy if I never learn the truth, though.
