Okay, lesson #2. (Don't back pedal was lesson #1) We don't call technical fouls on cheerleaders. If you have a problem with a cheerleader have game management take care of it. Here endeth the lesson.

Start calling T's on cheerleaders and fans and you'll be calling 8th grade and under for the rest of your life!

BTW, if the GT occurs before the PC foiul, count the basket.

And for those who are interested, the post is on the McGriff board.

Player A1 is shooting the front end of a 1 and 1. During this time, Betty(one of the cheerleaders) is throwing a pompom into the air on the the sidelines. Rahrah Roger(male cheerleader) is holding Nancy(another cheerleader) in the air while she is doing the splits. Next to Roger and Nancy is Buffy, yelling into a megaphone(legal or not?) "Rickum Rackum Rackum Ruckum get that ball and really F....Fight". You are the trail official on the free throw administration. The shot misses and the rebound comes off long to B1 on the fast break. You, being a good official, get out of bounds to avoid a collision with the players, and while back pedalling collide with Betty. This causes a chain reaction where you and all the cheerleaders are in a heap. Immediately, Henry(a photographer from the school paper) snaps a photo of you lying on top of Betty. Roger, next to you has the megaphone impaled in his head. Meanwhile B1 on the fast break makes a try. A2 who has obtained legal guarding position is contacted by B1 on the try. A3 comes in and goaltends the shot. What is the call?

OK Dave, this is a good one but before I answer I have 2
questions: how old is the cheerleader and is my wife at
the game :D

Hey TXMATTHEW05, maybe I can help you here. Do not piss
off cheerleaders. They have value that transcends
basketball. (Geeze, what is happening to this younger
generation??!! ;) )

No, the time on the clock is irrelevant. It's the amount of time they have to get into the front court; 10 seconds.

You flunk! ;)

First of all, it's a joke. Second of all, "they" have no requirement to get into the frontcourt. It's the requirement for the ball to get into the frontcourt.

But keep trying.

Here's one for you. In the NF, how many rules of basketball are there?

aren't there around 12, i am not sure, i don't have my book w/ me. and one of them is the one rule everyone (coaches,fans, ect...) always forgets... "it is not possible to travel while dribbling"

Is this another "davism?" After a controversial game, coach attacks the official, Coach: "You know reff, you really sucked (or some other colorful words) you should really read the f***** rule book!"

Dave: "I did, coach, do you know how many rules are in the rule book?"

Coach: "Yes millions, and I think you two should read them all!"

But, this never happened to me...:D

Ten rules.
Do you want to know what they are?

And if I get stuck, I just tell a coach to refer to rule 4.
