hey, I'm a newbie... be gentle

Hey hows it going...

I am an avid college basketball fan in the heart of tobacco road. I found this site last year and thought about posting then, but thought better of it.

Unfortunately my team was dismissed from the tourney (prematurely!!! :-p ). I guess at that time of year this place gets a lot of "baiters" making noise. And I didnt want to come off as sour grapes or whatever... so I decided to wait until the start of this year.

I'm here because I'm hoping that some of you pros or well informed types can educate me from time to time, and help me enjoy the game more.

I know in my mind what I think a charge is.... but I dont know the textbook definition of it as applied in a game by an officiating crew.

So hopefully you guys can help me see some of the finer points and I can avoid a serious medical condition.

Best wishes - see ya around
