Stat-Man, Thank you so much for being so nice. As I said before I was not trying to cause problems. Simply looking for an answer that a 9 year old would understand. I will print your reply and let her read that. You are the only one who put it in words that would be helpful instead of critcizing. It was questioned why I came to this board, I came to it because I thought I would get a professional answer. Thank God I finally did!!

Momstwo:

This is a forum mostly for basketball officiating and rules, so posts like yours are kind of the exception to the rule. Also, we do get a number of fans and parents here who think officials are to blame for their team's poor performance (never mind the poor shooting or the turnovers...), so after a while, it just gets to a point where parents venting about a game seems to get old. Try not to take it personally. Also, we have many regulars here who love to show off their sense of humor. Just try to bear with them.

That said, however, there are many officials on here who can answer any questions you may have about rules. Some of the regulars here serve as trainers to other officials or even as rule interpreters (telling officials how to enforce the rules). So any rule question that is posed politely will usually get the answer it deserves.

Besides, they let me hang out here, so they can't be all bad
