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.

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.

LOL! My money is on Chuck going further - I've probably got at least 12-15 pounds on him!

On a side note, I took my youngest son and his best friend (both 12) to WWE Smackdown here in Portland, OR on Tuesday...what a riot! Anyway, there was this "Irish" wrestler who - during his match (bout?) jumped out of the ring, reached under the ring, and pulled out not a folding chair, not a sledgehammer, nope - he pulled out a midget dressed as a leprechaun, tossed him into the ring, and proceeded to use the leprechaun to bludgeon his opponent. I was laughing myself silly, but the two boys were outraged that he would do that to the little guy...

Now had that midget requested time-out while airborne, I would have granted it immediately!

Can you do that under the new NCAA rule if the midget was gonna land out-of-bounds?

Geeze, you think we take abuse? Nothing like those wrasslin' referees. They make a call that someone don't like, and the next thing you know that someone is a-gnawing away on their forehead.

PS- I was a great fan of George "the Animal" Steele- the guy with the bald head, furry body and green tongue, and ate turnbuckles. He actually was a teacher, just like you.

Hmmmmmm........

Nah.....couldn't be.....

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.

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

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

Peace
