Things that make you go hmmmmm...

In the new rulebook, as usual, in the center you will find a 4-page colored ad...which I always take out. This year's ad is for Rawlings basketballs, specifically their "TEN"- their new 10-panelled ball. The blurb talks about how the NFHS, among other groups, have approved the "TEN".

That's fine, except.....

Three of the four pages show Tracy McGrady dribbling and shooting a "TEN". The only problem is that the "TEN" that he is using is illegal under NFHS rules. It's multi-colored, with alternating black and brown panels.

Stoopid me, but I can just see a coach holding that ad up and saying "waddaya mean, my game ball is illegal? It's in the rulebook."

My response... "Yeah coach, Tracy McGrady is in the rulebook as well and you can't use him either!"

I'm somewhat jealous. I haven't got my book and/or exam yet.

The test is not available on-line in our state. I have already started going over the test. I do not have the books yet as well.

Peace

Say it ain't so Jeff. They aren't allowing you to take the exam online this year?

So where did you get the test you are going over? We used to get a study guide with about 350 questions. The test was made up of 125 of these questions. Last couple of years we got nothing except advice: "Study the rule and case books and the mechanics manuals."
