Actually JR, you are the one that doesn't have a clue. No doubt your knowledge of the rules is beyond approach. But you do nothing to better the game. I am a player, and if you have ever had a player run underneath your feet, it is the scariest feeling in the world.

Tell me something JR, have you ever played the game? I hear you defend the rules but I never hear you defend the game. The person that wrote that article is trying from afar to defend the game. Just read the examples you moron. Read how many players have been seriously hurt by this crazy rule that you defend so vividly . the guy that wrote the article maybe a nobody in the business of basketball, but he hit it on the nail when he said Niasmith, the guy that we acknowledge as the one who invented the game, would roll over in his grave if he knew this was happening.

I'm going to go old school on you JR. In the early days of bb, they used a apple bucket for the goal and hung it on the balcony. When the team scored a goal, there was a mad rush up the balcony and to the bucket to get the ball out, which determined who got the ball next. Our inventor saw that this was a problem, not so much who got the ball next, but the fact that someone could get injured trying to get to the ball next. So they cut a hole in the bucket, to allow the ball to fall thru. Eliminated the problem.

You, Julie and most of the rest here are foot soldiers, you do what you are told to do, and you do it well. When it comes to having a clue of what's going on with the game you call, you don't have a clue and you hate on anybody who tries to make it better.

What separates me from you. I have a vision and you can't steal my vision by insulting me or ignoring me. I want to leave the game better than what I found it. I can no longer play but the players are the product, their well being and safety is paramount and the founding father would agree that that rule, who got there first is ridiculous, and it's being taught by the coaches.

AHA! The truth is out. I knew you weren't an official.

Where do you get this crap? First of all, they used peach baskets, not apple buckets. Second, after a goal, the ball was retrieved and a jump ball was held for the next possession. The rule about being the first to get the ball had to do with when the ball went OOB, not into the basket. Eventually, cages were built around the floor so the ball wouldn't go up into the stands, which is why basketball players were referred to as "cagers" for many years.

Uh-oh, you insulted Juulie (and you misspelled her name). Our truce is off. Why don't you just go up into the hills somewhere and practice cliff diving?

Dr. Naismith's Original Thirteen Rules Of Basketball.

1. The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands.

2. The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands (never with the fist).

3. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowance to be made for a man who catches the ball when running at a good speed if he tries to stop.

4. The ball must be held in or between the hands; the arms or body must not be used for holding it.

5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping, or striking in any way the person of an opponent shall be allowed;the first infringement of this rule by any player shall count as a foul, the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made, or, if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game, no substitute allowed.

6. A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violation of Rules 3,4, and such as described in Rule 5.

7. If either side makes three consecutive fouls, it shall count a goal for the opponents (consecutive means without the opponents in the mean time making a foul).

8. A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into the basket and stays there, providing those defending the goal do not touch or disturb the goal. If the ball rests on the edges, and the opponent moves the basket, it shall count as a goal.

9. When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field of play by the person first touching it. In case of a dispute, the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds; if he holds it longer, it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game, the umpire shall call a foul on that side.

10. The umpire shall be judge of the men and shall note the fouls and notify the referee when three consecutive fouls have been made. He shall have power to disqualify men according to Rule 5.

11. The referee shall be judge of the ball and shall decide when the ball is in play, in bounds, to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall decide when a goal has been made, and keep account of the goals with any other duties that are usually performed by a referee.

12. The time shall be two 15-minute halves, with five minutes' rest between.

13. The side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner. In case of a draw, the game may,by agreement of the captains, be continued until another goal is made.

Well, we may have a clue as to Old School's real name now. My guess? Ah, never mind. I'll go back to just correcting the errors now.
