That again ties with the dumbest statement ever made on this forum.

Can you point me at the NFHS rule that says that it is legal to run under an airborne player?

Btw, the offensive player with the ball in the video <b>isn't</b> airborne when the contact occurs. Don't let that little <b>fact</b> disturb your analysis of the play.

Stupid monkey....... :rolleyes:

Maddening, ain't it?

Who else can turn any rules discussion into a trainwreck quicker than our beloved JMO of McGriffs fame, the king of the trolls?

Careful, you only get one bullet.

If you forward them to me as well, I'll consider voting you into the clique.

The rules are in place for a reason. Let's start there. The rules or the restrictions the rules place upon the players are intended to create a balance of fair play, to provide equal opportunity for the offense and defense, to provide reasonable safety and protection....

HOLD THE PHONE!!!!

That's right there in the rules! Let me get this right, I am incompetent because I use safety as a guideline to make a decision. Shame on me for acting like a human being and using such realistic factors as safety to make my decision.

I am of the opinion it is officials like you who ruin the sport for others because of your asinine inability to utilized all factors available to you to make a decision. The only thing you see and use to make a judgment is the rulebook. Not only do I use the rule, I also use the intent and purpose of the rule before I make a decision, and yes, I got block, block, block on this play each and everytime I see it.

In the event I did not get a proper look at the play, I'm in the new Lead position and transitioning up the court. I might use other factors available to me like safety, intelligent decision of the player, and so on to make a judgment. But that's just me. Sorry I disagree but don't hate me because I back up what I say. It may not be right, but it's going to be like that on both ends of the court today. BLOCK!!!!

In the OP, no one "ran underneath" anyone, no one's safety was threatened, and in fact, when the official called a block, several parents WERE upset, which you say they wouldn't be. So even by your standards this is a bad call. Just WOW!

1) Naw, you're incompetent because you use "safety" as an excuse for not knowing basic rules.

2) Bad JRut! Bad, bad JRut! Using the rules to make a call. That's just wrong!:D

3) In other words you <b>guess</b>. But that's just <b>you</b>, JMO.

Good idea. When are you going to start?


That's correct - you should be using the rules as the guidelines for making the decisions.

This is also quoted from your post, but I'm borrowing it:

I am of the opinion it is officials like you who ruin the sport for others.

Methinks that it'll have to be a silver bullet. A regular bullet just ain't gonna work on this clown.

That's right JR but here's the problem. When observing this from the new L position, in transistion, I am unable to determine exactly when said feet of the defender was set and said feet of the offensive player was set. Therefore, what do we do. We got to have a call on this play. We can not no-call this play. The defensive player forced my hand. Well, when I'm unsure. Defense. Sorry, that be the way it is.

With instant replay, okay, guess I was wrong. Oh well, that be the way it is. Too bad we can't use replay on every call we make. I'm not trying to be perfect, like you, just trying to be consistent and stay out of trouble.

Sheez, Dinosaur, he agrees with you and you complain about it?

Sorry, JMO, but <b>real</b> officials will know what to look for, will know the correct rule, and will also know how to apply those rules to make the right call. The Old Schools of the world will guess. Real officials won't.

Sorry, that be the way it is.

So if I'm understanding this correctly Old School, you're willing to completely ignore and willingly misapply the rules of the game? Doesn't seem exactly fair to either team who think their playing by the rules of the game. Do you happen to tell the teams which rules you'll happen to be enforcing from game to game?:confused:

He won't be properly enforcing any of them because he doesn't know them and refuses to learn. You can't enforce what you don't know.

OS:

And why, pray tell is this a block? Please quote rules and casebook plays to support your call.
