Biggest myths

[BillyMac]

From Time2Ref: "Are you writing your own rule book, or what?"

Time2Ref: You're right. This started out a handout for a presentation that I was making to a college level basketball coaching class. It's suppossed to be a list of basketball rules that are often misunderstood by coaches, players, and parents, developed over the past twenty-six years, listening to erroneous comments from players, coaches, and mostly from fans, and thinking to myself, "I wish I could stop the game and explain the real rule to them".

As I keep revising this list, often with the imput of Forum members, the list seems to have taken on a life of its own and keeps getting longer. At some point in the future, I'm probably going to have to narrow it down, maybe with the help of Forum members. The problem is that we have so many ignorant players, coaches, and fans who have never read a rule book.
