well JR,
the official called a suspension of play during a live ball because of the confusion, not because the player hung on the rim. that is the 2-3 situation that i am referencing. i know that hanging on the rim to prevent injury is legal in NF nc2a and nba. do not think that i got where i am because i do not know the rules. rules knowledge combined with common sense is an important part of my success. have a nice day [/B]

Common sense is not making up rules. Common sense is applying the rules appropriately to the situation that occurs. This is not common sense, because the rules clearly state how baskets can be counted and not counted. And in at least the NF has made this a point of emphisis recently, you should not be talking about counting a basket for vibrated backboard unless it falls under the rules for BI and GT. Sorry crew, this is not what the rules requires us to do.

Common sense has much more to do with what you call and when you call it, but not making up rules to right a wrong. You still have to apply what the rulebook says, and do what is right in that situation. Especially if the casebook and rulebook specificially cover this situation. And in this case it does and your solution is from the stars.

Peace
