So true.

I am really tired of seeing ignorant responses to block/charge plays in social media. And then when you ask them to cite the rule support for their idiotic opinion, they get all defensive and say they don’t need the rules.

How true this is. Especially the part about them being defensive. You ask them a simple question or to clarify something and they say "well that's just might judgment and we agree to disagree".

Good luck trying to communicate with coaches and supervisors with that attitude.

So true.

The best is a thread I saw recently where there was a clear unsporting act by a player, and everyone except one poster in the thread said they would T the player. The one poster was convinced he had the best game management skills because he would let the kid slide and that he "didn't need the rules." He doubled down each time he got challenged, hurling insults as well, until people eventually just gave up/the mods kicked him out.

I inferred that he was merely a street ball official and honestly a lot of the clowns in those groups probably are. But I have seen some officials that work (or at least, they claim to) college basketball and just post ridiculous nonsense with no rules support that only they believe.

Agree. Way too much of the time, people just want to wing it rather than base it on the rules.
