Never seem this before, not even in a cartoon. Come on, you can do better....

This is fun and all, but I"ve got a life. You can troll here by yourself, OS. Ta ta!

I told you that you were coming at this issue from the wrong angle. :D

Peace

Darn it, we where having so much fun....

First, I really don't care which set of rules are used at the HS level. Just let me know the rules you want used and I will enforce them evenly to the best of my ability.

That being said, the only people (unless you include rec/summer ball) moving between rule sets are officials. I like others have seen officials kick a rule application because they were thinking one set and working a game govern by another set. Who's fault is that? It is certainly NOT the rules committee or governing boby...it is the official's. It will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get anyone to change their rule set just for the sake of change. If the official cannot keep his rules/mechanics straight then he or she is not as good as they thought and should give up one of the levels.

I really do not see how using the NCAA rules in high school makes the high school game better. If it doesn't make the game better, why change? Given the small percentage of officials that are constantly moving back and forth, it seems silly to make the changes simply to make their life easier.

Or for the sake of the official.

You make some great points and thanks for sharing your thoughts. Others gave up, shut down mentally when I challenged their interlect. The only problem that I see is when you get to the upper level/final games and the talk about which officials to use surfaces. Let's get the best officials available is usually the thought process. Well the best officials availalbe tends to center mainly around who gets paid the most to work basketball which is college officials. If you're a HS ref and you ever watched a college ref work a state playoff game, you know what I getting at here. Then you have a mis-interp of a rule and all hell breaks lose. We get it both ways too, you know that. If you put a hs ref on a final game and they miss a call, should have went with the college guys.....

Somewhere down the line, I think we need to make it easier for the people who have to call the games so that you can truly use any official from any discipline. NCAA women to WNBA. Isn't that a pleasure to see. It helps the officials and the assigners and the game. To me it's a win-win but that's just my opinion.

LOL....my interlect can beat your interlect.

Well, I challenge your interlect to a drool.

Lah me......:D

The only thing you've challenged here is logic itself. The problem is, it's like challenging gravity. You can't win.

Ya' can't argue with the guy. Remember - he's brillant!

Reminds me of a person who really actually said to me one time, "I used to have a problem with denial, but I don't think it's any big deal."

Thanks, OS. I haven't laughed that hard since the last time you posted!

edit to add: Thanks for pointing it out JR. A good night's sleep and I think I've shaken it...

Good Lord, it's catching......

Old School Virus.....

There is no cure. It destroys your interlect.:eek:

What would you guys do without me providing a little comic relief. We all need to laugh sometimes, even if it's at ourselves.

If that's the case, you must be hysterical 24/7. :D

Do you think my intellect can challenge his interlect?:)

Luckily, there are treatment options you and your doctor can discuss.
