2 Ts warranted- Part 2

[Judge Roy]

but no one has answered my question.

Let me make it simpler for you.

Who has authority to issue an order to officials contradicting the rules of the game?

Have they done so?

Where is the written order?

A referees' association or training camp, so far as I know have no authority to change the rules. Thus, when an official sees contact that's a fould, right?

Under the rules of basketball is contact a foul or not a foul?

These are easy fellas. Please answer these questions directly. Your ad hominem attacks are unseemly among junior high students. Coming from responsible, adult sports officials they indicate that you resort to being a smart mouth in the adsence of the anwer.

I am not now an official but was one for a short time years ago.

I am not a coach but have been.

I am not any longer a player except if you dare call my golf game "playing".
