What do any of us need to correct ?
What if the pivot is lifted and a dribble starts?
Maybe Tanner and you were the only ones that actually understood the coachspeak.

More garbage.

1. I don't care how many people are pissed off or happy. I don't poll the audience before I make a call.

2. Why does having the basketball matter? What is this fixation of yours with the ball? Either accidently stepping on the back of an opponents shoe is a foul or it is not a foul. You can't say it is a foul in this case, but not in that case. That is capricious.

That's where I do have to agree with Nevada. Whether you're going to have several thousand people pissed off at you is never a factor when you make a call. You never call anything in a game ever to keep fans, players or coaches happy.

Never is pretty strong.

I've seen some fans, players and coaches pretty dang happy to see an ugly coach removed.

I think it's clear he doesn't understand the rule. He stated a travel should be called and is a "missed call" as soon as the pivot foot is lifted. I just understood he was wrong!

Who knows... anyways...it's a snowing like crazy here. Plus several inches of ice. Classes were cancelled (as well as all games in the area) for the first time in 29 years on campus.

There's may only be two of us, and one of us may need help.
Mick, try to think of it this way. We train for perfection knowing we might have to make adjustments or freelance as the situation dictates. However, we still plan for perfection.

There are no absolutes. But when you train with the wrong form, you perform with the wrong form.

Kind of like saying the right thing when the kids are listening knowing full well you might have to deviate to save the day!

Just Java.
Oddly enough, we are partly cloudy with a lot of blue. Cold, but the sun keeps the spirits high.
That IL, OH, IN thing looks nasty !

What would you call on this play:
B1 falls to the floor at the FT line. A1 is dribbling the ball and doesn't see B1. A1 trips over B1, falls to the floor, and loses the ball. B2 gets the ball.
Nevada, what is the answer?

Appreciate all your comments & emails to old Coach T! From a very good source, speculation is...he has gotten over 1000 emails from coaches, officials, & fans from across the country. In fact, he posted an apology recently...

I don't know who this guy is and I don't know how "good" of a coach he is. I don't know his W-L record and frankly I don't care because the statement below tells me all I need to know about what "kind" of a coach he is:

Is the FED answer correct? Would both FED & NCAA be blocking? I understand B is entitled to the position on the floor, but is he in a legal guarding position? If I have this play in my HS game, I'm probably calling the block and telling the coach if asked, the player never established LGP.

The play, as described, has nothing to do with LGP. LGP gives the defender "extra" rights, but B is still entitled to the spot on the floor (literally) provided he gets there first legally.

How about IHSSA referees boycott his games? His AD must endorse his behavior, but other ADs in his league will get peeved when they can't scrape up anyone decent.

Schools need us more than we need them.
