Marquise,

First of all welcome to the board. I see you've met our ambassador of goodwill and public relations officer. I assume he has answered your questions satisfactorily.

However, I will take exception with one thing our Jurrasic friend said, and maybe this will help you, maybe it won't.

That is simply an incorrect statement. The truth of the matter is that most of us could not care less. To say it his way gives the impression that some of us may care somewhat. That is misleading.

So Ray, as long as we're picking at nits, you should probably spell "Jurassic" correctly. But I know that his patience and warm cordiality will certainly overlook the slight.

I was simply using the Olde English spelling, which he is very familiar with as that's how he spelled it when he was at school.

Not to me.

When did it become an automatic T to grab the rim on a dunk?

As soon as I found out that he threw a ball at a referee....

By strict reading of the rule, it is an automatic "T" to grasp the ring except if the grasping was done to prevent an injury.

I aint the sharpest knife in the drawer but AFAIK something can't be automatic if there's an exception.

Maybe we need to ask mr annoying semantics guy to chime in...nah, let's not
