rules talk

Rainmaker: You're right. Like Texas Aggie, I missed the time and date of his post. Besides that, who said that he had to discuss all of these points? He can pick and choose which points he wants to discuss. Also, he can print handouts of some, or all of these points, and pass them out to his audience, and the handouts can be passed out anytime, even days after his presentation.

I did this with a group of high school players, and there was a tremendous amount of interest in most of these points. I was there for an hour answering questions after my 30 minute discussion. Many of the questions came from the handout, not from what I had already discussed.

Thanks to the following Official Forum Basketball web site members for their contributions in developing this list: bossref, Hartsy, Jurassic Referee, Camron Rust, Mark Padgett, Nevadaref, Mark Dexter, Dan ref, mdray, Jimgolf, elecref, Assignmentmaker, IREFU2, and David M.

Rainmaker: Perhaps you didn't read my post where I suggested that this list could be edited. I know that I would edit it based on the group that I was talking to. It's easy to do. All you have to do is use the cut, copy, and paste icons on your toolbar.

And Juulie, next year those 8th graders will be high school players. Are they then ready for a tremendous amount more info, that they are not ready for now? There isn't much difference. Don't make a big deal out of this.

Jeez, I didn't think this thread could get controversial. A couple people asked, the talk went fine. They asked a few questions at the end and the coaches underlined everything I said about sportsmanship. It was fun and hopefully I'll do it again next season. I know I'm doing it with the 7th graders later this season. Thanks for all of the input.
