ripcord,
were you in Vegas this weekend?

Actually if you are using antiquated (sp?) fan shaped backboards and the ball passes over the top - it's OK.

I was not in Vegas but have a chance to get 2 free tickets to hit the Nascar race there in 2 weeks. Is it worth it?

If you like seeing cars slipping and sliding over a dirt covered track.

When I lived in Vegas I worked security part-time and I worked the luxury boxes for the very first race there, it was a Busch Series race. I wouldn't let the Budweiser girl in a luxury suite. She didn't have the proper pass and she never did anything for me.

But I digress.

Hence JR specifying a rectangular backboard in the very first response.

I thusly put this in for any young cherub-like officials that might not realize the rule was different for a fan-shaped board.
