No, I said I'm NOT Ms. Annoying Grammar Gal. I just chime in and get annoying occasionally when I'm in a bad mood or something strikes me funny. Sorry to disappoint you. And by the way, I'm way too big and too old to be a "girl." If I'm acting immature enough that you don't feel comfortable calling me a woman, then "gal" is fine.

I'm not familiar with Bob Herrold, but his statement is nonsensical. It's like talking about unleaded gasoline with lead in it. Or sugar-free gum with sugar in it. Not only did he NOT say it best, what he did say is meaningless.

And even if I fully understood what Bob Herrold was saying (and I honestly don't), the rulebook specifically defines the contact that is inherent in the game ("incidental contact"). It is a contact sport. That doesn't make it football, but it's not golf either.

Honestly, it sounds to me like you're calling your game and you're calling it consistently. Stop worrying about what the coaches are saying. They're going to gripe either way. Continue as you have been, applying advantage/disadvantage and I believe you'll be fine!

Well said. Ignore the coaches unless they are asking a question.

This is the best way to describe basketball. How can anyone truly say basketball is not a contact sport?
