Why isn't uniform rule being enforced at the end of game?

Based on your vast D-I experience?

Or do monkeys just laugh when he screeches too?

Dan: Yes and yes.

I don't have my rule book with me at work but I do not think this is a T, by rule. I believe the rule states a player cannot "remove" his/her jersey on the court. Simply untucking it is not a T, by rule. Now, it could be considered unsportsmanlike if done in that manner, but it could also be that the shirt is uncomfortable and it feels better to untuck it. Someone correct me if I am wrong on this. Thanks.

How does calling someone a moron add substance to the debate other than demeaning yours?

It's simply a matter of truth in advertising.

Nobody cares what you think. Look it up in the rule book and post it. Then, and only then, will someone believe you.

What debate are you referring to?

How can there be substance added to what was posted? Iow, he said he would NOT call it, but then complains that it isn't being called (didn't I already point that out?)...how can anyone add substance to that?

And demeaning my what?

After you're here a while, you understand why this guy is refered to as a moron.

1- He doesn;t know the rules.
2- He refuses to accept the rules when cited by others.
3- His philosophies are archaic and contrary to everything that's ever been published regarding officiating.

The worst thing is that his misinformation easily confuses those who don't know any beter.

Yes, he's a moron.

Wouldn't it be better and more professional to answer and move on?
Seems to me responding over and over with insults never discourages anyone from firing back.

Just trust them, jim - the choice is to either ignore OS or to make it easy to distrust what OS says so that casual/new forum readers do not take what he/she says and use it as if it was given in good faith and with sound rules backing.

I think OS is just stirring the pot and not really interested in rules-centric discussion - it is distracting and it could easily cause confusion.

It's not about being professional. It's about ensuring his answers aren't taken seriously.
That, and entertaining ourselves in the process.

That can't be ignored.
