Closely Guarded

Glad to be here for your amusement.

At least I tried to apply a logical spin to a poorly written, badly organized rule book, to answer the question put forth in this post.

REWIND:

How I call closely guarded:

LGP is my main guide, path also includes between A1 and the basket, and the orientation of A1's body does not end my count. [/B]

I'm one who thinks that the rulebook is not actually that poorly written (in a few spots perhaps, but not in general). I think it's just that many of us, not unlike our coach and spectator counterparts, come into it already believing the rule is something and when it doesn't seem to agree with what they think, we automatically declare it a poorly written rule rather than simply admitting we read it wrong. I've certainly been guilty of that.
