We all know that one doesn't officiate a real basketball game by rule 100% of the time.

I've known a few officials who knew every rule and interpretation back and forth, up and down, inside and out, but didn't know it the basketball was stuffed or inflated in a "real" game.

I do not think for a second that the intent of the rule was to be that specific or that ridged in practice. I think they did not want two entire different colors used. Kind of like the undershirts that are one color and the stitching is another color. I know officials that would have players remove shirts over the color of the stitching. Why do that?

Raymond: "I'm looking for reasons to let the player play, not trying to find reasons to keep him from playing."

Jeff Rutledge: "I do not think for a second that the intent of the rule was to be that specific or that ridged in practice. I think they did not want two entire different colors used."

Raymond and Jeff both said it much better than I did. I especially like the formulation to find reasons to let the player play (and not at the expense of a T, I would add).
