That's all we need to agree on.

Everything else is irritating bullsh1t.

Hey, I'm just practicing for my trip.

Am I doing good at being an irritating tourist?

I accept your position, no matter how wrong it is. :D

I just didn't realize we weren't allowed to discuss it. :cool:

sigh....

when did I say that?

(I fell like I need to ask "Hey coach? We looking at the same game? Cause we sure aint seeing the same game.")

Not it is not.

Peace

Back To Fashion Police
 

Basketball Forum Members:

I appreciate all the lively discussion regarding the coach calling a time out from the bench, a rule change that occurred several years ago. Can we please get back to a discussion about officials being asked more and more to become "fashion police", as directed by the NFHS in rule changes for the upcoming season?

Nope. I find that much more boring than the current discussion. Sorry.

Has it occurred to you that we aren't as concerned as you are with what you term the "fashion police rule?

If you don't like the rule, ignore it.

Great! We can continue to discuss it. Then please explain why you would grant a timeout in one situation and not in another.

SITUATION 1 - During the first of two FTs, Coach A asks Dan_ref for a timeout after the second FT, if it is made. There is no team control or player control and the ball is live when the request is made.

SITUATION 2 - While the ball is rolling around on the floor, Coach A asks Dan_ref for a timeout, if one of his players gets the ball. There is no team control or player control and the ball is live when the request is made.

Hey BillyMac, you could always delete your original post. That would end the discussion real quick-like.

Maybe we should have a poll.......

Why did you start the post talking about all the rules changes? You should have started a thread only about the fashion issue.

Peace

Well Tony, let's see here...in all of my posts on this topic, I have clearly stated how I would handle a specific situation - a coach requesting a t.o. while a shot is in the air (be it a free throw or a shot attempt)...to then post back at me using the word "MUST" grant the time-out is a distortion of what I said so I pointed that out...

And why would I address the comparison? Again, I was speaking to a specific situation and how I handle it...to change the situation to something else is a different topic. If you don't want to handle the t.o. request on a shot attempt the same way I do - that's ok...I can live with that.

I don't know about that. Maybe we should have a poll to determine whether we should have a poll.

Geeze, I dunno....

That's kinda extreme. We sure wouldn't want to offend anyone.

How about having a dwarf-toss instead? We can use Chuck and Rocky.
