I don't understand why NBA players don't use driveway rules. Oh wait - they do.

Out west in Ca. we have different times for shot clock. We also have no closely guarded on girls when they are dribbling. We also use a 40 point mercy rule.

Girls have a 30 second shot clock and no 10-second count in the backcourt.

Other than that modification, standard NFHS rules apply to both.

Before some of you start screaming for the moderator, please note this is a humorous quote from the movie "Kindergarden Cop".

Yea, most of us are way beyond that kind of humor. Me, for instance. I was trying to figure out how my browser switched over from an officials forum to a college biology class.

People actually quote Schwarzenegger comedies? If people start quoting Stallone in "Stop or my Mom will Shoot" I'm out of here.

Careful guys when being so general with your answers. In NY, girls at all levels follow NCAA Women's rules. Boys follow Federation. Personally, seeing college is the next level, I don't understand why both boys and girls don't follow NCAA rules at the high school level.
Using that logic, college players should use NBA and WNBA rules.

Answer me this. What percentage of HS players play college basketball?

I'm betting that's a good reason that we have HS rules.

No, I didn't. Tony said that there is one set of rules for HS games. That's simply not true. NFHS has written one set of rules. But those are not the rules that we use in MA. We use most of those rules with some different ones. That makes a different set of rules. Calling them "state modifications" doesn't make them any less than rules. They are rules here. So while Tony states that there is only one set of rules for HS games, I know of at least 3; FED, MA boys, and MA girls.

I'm not getting my fishnets all bunched up about it. Just an observation.
Look Chuck, don't get your fishnets in a bunch. There's one set of HS rules, the NFHS rules. MA uses modifications to those rules. That's my story and I'm sticking it to you! :D

BTW, I bet the NFHS just loves Massachusetts. IS there any sport where they use NFHS rules without putting their own spin on things?

Thank you! An official who understands what his state is doing! :)

I think somebody might've made that same point about 7 hours ago. . . Not that I'm getting my fishnets in a bunch about it. :)

40 points???? Why bother? At that point, I have a hard time calling it 'mercy!'

I can't believe they deleted that post, it isn't false. That is just one of the MANY reasons boys basketball is different from girls basketball.
