Lighten up, Francis. :rolleyes: [/B][/QUOTE]

Oh thank you, Miss ChuckElias.

Hey whattaya know - FIBA agrees with NCAA/NFHS is also legal.

Had a funny one playing last week in a socail comp. Referee called a violation because I passed the ball to a team-mate off the backboard. Was doing a layup and intentionally "bricked" it so my trailing team-mate could show off. Wasn't an alley-oop, but the ref ruled in illegal. Any thoughts from anyone where they may have gotten this strange ruling from? Had me stumped! (and I almost picked up a T for complaining/questioning the call)

Somebody needs a nap, real bad. :)

I wonder if Bushref has re-incarnated again.

Hey Duane!!! Good to see you around! I have no idea why your play might be considered illegal. The official just thought it "looked funny", probably. Happens a lot, especially on traveling calls.

Hope you're doing well down there. Take it easy.

Oh and he's clever, too! Who ever would have thought to "accidentally" call me a female!! Wooo-hooo! That's funny, that is. Man, there's nothing like a good joke. . .

He's obviously not your picture:

Hmmmm... I feel sorry for your woman if you're hanging that low!

...and you laughed at this first time poster in a public forum, a person who had a legitimate question in his/her/it's mind.

Then you were silly enough to make some weak comments about noses and genders...

I stand by my opinion of taking it easy on people, with questions, that might not be as well versed in the rules as you.

Yes, I thought the question was funny. Dad, I was being silly with “sir nose”, which if you knew your Rock N' Roll history, was a term used in songs by Bootsy Collins and George Clinton. I think it is funny when others write off-the-wall type questions. I even laugh at myself for doing stupid acts or writing dumb things. What’s up, you can not find humor in a serious question? Is this forum only for serious thoughts? I did not know this forum was using old Soviet Union guidelines when posting replies. It was cool that another bb official nicely answered the original question with a short answer but doesn’t mean he/she did not laugh while typing the answer. In my opinion, the question was written dumb, funny, and with ignorance. It sure seemed to be written by a non-basketball official or possibly the post was from a serious sports fan. How the heck do you call a foul out of catching your own ball in flight? Maybe you imply it is a violation of some kind, but a foul? Now don’t go rescue the original question by adding… “Oh maybe another player smacked the shooter on the arm”. Respect my opinions and I shall respect yours, dude.

Oh by the way, have a nice day, dude.

Dude,..... did you just call him dude?

Dude! That dude totally just called the other dude "dude", Dude!

Ok, where's my car?

SWEET! :D

Nighty Night Johnny Boy! :)

I got your boy right here, dude. It is still trying to make the correct long distance call.
