Hand checking versus touching

[Rbn3]

Donald Flether, a famous ethicist, wrote a book called "situation ethics". Richard Nixon invoked it to justify some questionable behavior. My kids are not bound for the NBA, but they will need to learn teamwork and how to play by the rules. They all have been in the car with a parent who went by a policeman going 40 in a 30 zone wihtout being stopped. Especially at our level, if every infraction were whistled,we might as well schedule free throw contests instead of games. And every call can't be adjudicated by a 5-4 decision by the Supremes. I'll teach the kids the rules, including the POE's, because playing by the rules, in the long, long run is best.
