So you pull some third rate publication out of your azz and think it proves that ...

Now it's just getting funny. You can't possibly be this obtuse.
BTW, I've been known to be full of $hit. This isn't one of those times. "Referee Magazine" does not equal a rule book.

Good grief, you got thoroughly exposed as a fraud in that debate, we didn't have to twist anything. I claimed the three second count continues during an interrupted dribble, you disagreed. It was pretty straight forward. Perhaps you can point to where I or JR twisted or shifted anything? I doubt it, but will apologize if you can show that I twisted your meanings in any way.
You do what you want, and as long as you're consistently wrong about it in your intramural games, no one will really care.

I'm a little slower than most Forum members so I'm a little confused.

What is the relationship between the the NASO/Referee Preseason Basketball Guide and the NFHS? I don't know what term to use, but I'll give it a shot. Is this Preseason Basketball Guide affiliated with, authorized by, or in any way connected to, or condoned by the NFHS? Can items in this publication be used to cite NFHS rule and/or interpretion situations and plays, with the backing of the NFHS? Does anyone know if anything appearing in this publication has ever later been rejected by the NFHS as not applying to NFHS rules or interpretations?

I hope that there is a Forum member out there who can answer some of these questions with facts and not with opinions. That may help us to once and for all "bury" the issue about the "stop sign". Has or does the NFHS, not the NASO or Referee, suggest that officials may use a visual warning to indicate to the coach, and to the video tape, and possibly to the crowd, and to your partner, that "enough is enough"?

All I can say is if a publication puts on the front their affiliation with a particular organization I would think the contents are pretty official. If they did not want you to think that, then they would not put their name on it. If someone writes a book does it matter who actually wrote the contents? I am not sure how official it gets than that. Are we going to know debate which company actually did the printing to make sure that the NF had something to do with that too?
