Concerning rolling the basketball - NCAA Rule 2 section 3 - Elastic Power(EP). I can call it a travel or double dribble and be correct. But I am not saying you have to call it either.

I don't recall the NFHS rule but I thnk it is the same as NCAA in regard to the elastic power rule.

I would use the EP rule very sparingly. I have only used it for a couple of situations, both mens rec. league. To remove two players from the game without ejecting them or assessing technicals and to end a game before time expired.
I can't think of a reason to use the EP rule in a highschool game or a college game.

Any of you ever used the elastic power rule to justify anything?

No, but I will, as soon as a player leaves the bench area because the ceiling is falling in that area of the gym, because a rabid skunk is attacking the rack of shooting balls, or because a flock of Ruffed grouse flew into the open door of the gym.

Last year I worked an AAU game in a HS gym that doubled as summer home to some sparrows. No big deal until it became apparent that some of the sparrows were having trouble digesting that double breakfast burrito. You would be surprised what a large *SPLAT* that stuff makes when it hits a gym floor from 30 feet or so.

Are you sure it wasn't from one of the coaches?

Pretty sure.

Little birdies in the rafters go "tweet tweet tweet"

AAU coaches tend to not have mastered that level of communications skills.

We had a bomb threat in the gym last night. Would that be the same thing?

We had a hawk in one of my HS games last year
