Don't dump on the people trying to help because kycat- or anybody else- doesn't want to avail himself of the knowledge that is available here. The flip side is why should anyone here waste time on someone who refuses to learn.

This particular play isn't a case of a grey area in the rules that could be argued different ways. It's a case of having a definitive rule to apply.

None of us want to be assigned to a game after an official screws up a call completely because he didn't know a basic rule and he refused also to try and learn that basic rule.

Jmo too.

I am not dumping on anyone. I was just giving my opinion.

Me too.....

It is kinda frustrating, Rook, when several people take the time to write out a rule and fully explain it, and someone just refuses to believe everybody.

When it's you against the world in officiating, bet on the world.

This is why I made the following statement in my initial post:

The least we can do is reply; post the appropriate rule and move on from there.
