I definitely continue to count.
4-23-3b "The guard is not required to continue facing the opponent."

Edited to correct the article number of rule citation.

yeahbut the guard IS facing the opponent.

It's the opponent facing the other way.

What about 4-23-3(b) - After the initial guarding position is obtained, the guard is not required to continue facing the opponent?

Before you answer about turning away from immenent contact, that's also mentioned in a separate line, 4-23-3(e).

So it looks like that's the intent. Is it called in practice? Hmm...

(Btw, I'm not your boss, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.)

You know, I went to the KS website to try to see how long the season is, and found out that this illustrious woman is listed as an administrator. Now, I do not want to disparage what those administrator types do, because I know they get deluged with all sorts of tasks. However, I'd hardly refer someone to our basketball administrator if they had a question about how Colorado was interpreting the coaching box, pregame dunks, or any other rule.

So, this tells me one of three things.

1. She's not really the poobah, and our KS friend really doesn't know what he's talking about.

2. She's not the poobah, but is still the go-to person for rules interps in Kansas.

3. She is the poobah, and Kansas is so backwards that when they do promote a woman to poobah, they have to give her a more docile-sounding title like "administrator."

From Dictionary com:

<b>Poo bah:</b> -<i>A person who holds several positions, especially one that gives him <font color = red>or her</font> bureaucratic importance.</i>

Far be it from me to ever engage in any form of levity that might possibly be construed as being misogynistic.

Got that, prick?

Balls to that, I say!

Is there a place even below hell?

My impression from what I read on that web site is that it's door #4.

4. She's the poobah and is also the go-to person for rules interpretations in Kansas.

Of course, I sureashell could be wrong. It is Kansas, Toto.

Okay scrimmages are done.... what were we talking about?? For the record JR, you have spoken very eloquently on this subject. I appreciate your comments.

New Jersey?

I don't get it.

I don't know the exact name of the place when it's translated into English, but I do know that at least one of the neighborhoods is in NY about an hour's drive from NYC.
