I've decided my pet peeve for the remainder of the season is going to be the 30-second TO phantom rule.

You know, the one that says players must remain standing during a 30?

Doing book away last night, coach calls a 30, girls start to sit down. Coach tells them they have to stand, to which I reply they don't.

At this point, the home timer and scorer (who I thought actually read the book) go bezerk on me! Their explaination - we have had officials who make them stand. Before I could counter with a rule reference (or example - if the referee doesn't call traveling does it mean traveling isn't a rule?) the timer basically tells me to shut up.

Anyone else as sick of this as I am? I'm considering offering a $10 challenge to anyone who can find this "rule" in this year's rulebook.
