Slapping Backboard on block shot attempt?

[JRutledge]

If you feel they did it on purpose, then you have a T. But when you work a lot of kids that play above the rim, it is really easy to see the difference. I really do not care what percentages might be because the rim is vibrating or not. That should not be your issue. The issue should was the block attempt legitimate or not. Now you can be overly officious and make a call every time, but I do not think you will win many fans with the coaches if you give them a T for this often. That is of course if you are really concerned as to what the coaches think in the first place.

(This will only take a few seconds)

BTW I was asked a question about my signature and I answered it. No hard feelings or not much different than any other post. It is nothing like a thread that talked about baseball for the entire spring, summer and now fall that had nothing to do with basketball. I guess when your team has not won a World Series in almost 100 years you are allowed to talk baseball all year long.

Peace
