Actually 5, if you count myself and JRut. (Oops, I wasn't supposed to tell anyone. )

I missed the T, because I wasn't watching the whole game. When did it happen? And wasn't he miked, so was there any explanation as to what actually happend?

Bill Laimbeer's behavior has always been a detriment to the sport of basketball. It's too bad as he is an intelligent, likeable person off the court. In Isiah Thomas last game in the Old Boston Garden, I saw him stick an elbow out on a screen of Sherman Douglas that almost took Sherman's eye out. His style of "physical" basketball was always just "flagrant" fouls. They intended to do injury. The kids during the Bad Boys Era went just crazy with pushing and shoving.

He is one of the WNBA's Big names. The behavior they let him display is an affront to all the parents bringing their kids to watch the games which are often great.

QUESTION: I saw this one last night and I admit I'm stumped to find the NFHS Rule to support my opinion. I thought it was a good call. Player A holding ball is airborne over end line. Player B slides on floor and arm extends OOB. Player B touches airborne Player A with other arm. The Ref called it OOB with Team A maintaining pocession. Is there an NFHS Rule that supports this case?

If I understand the scenario you are describing (and I'm not sure that I do), this would be nothing in NFHS. See case play 7.1.1 Situation A.

In your case, out-of-bounds player B1 makes contact with A1. This does not cause A1 to be out of bounds since a player is not an object.

Bill Lambieer is a coach in the WNBA? I thought the season ended last week.

There was a play the a player for Sacramento was driving to the basketball and was fouled by Detroit and he was actually Booing the referee for the call. when they showed the play from a different angle it was an obvious call and the referee made a good call. The camera went to Lambieer, he still was booing the ref's. that is Bull $-it. He must be hands off.
