Before this thread gets locked, I'll add my $.02. TD, go back and read post #15 of this thread from rockyroad. It pretty much sums it up.

This is a discussion forum. Some people are right, some are wrong. For the most part though, everyone is only trying to help everyone else understand and interpret the rules of the game.

It's pretty obvious (especially to the longtime posters here) when someone comes along with a load of bull****, doesn't want to learn and only incites an argument in every post.

I would be for this change universally, imo it makes for a better game flow. At a minimum make it available for state adoption.

Forgoing the "home team wear white" is one thing, but making the away team wear white is just plain hockey ^H^H^H^H^H^H hokey.

DO NOT TELL ME OR ANYONE ELSE ON THIS FORUM WHAT I OR THEY CAN OR CAN'T POST!!!!

Reading is fundamental. As exemplified by your response above, actually comprehending what you're reading is extremely more difficult, if not impossible.

WOBW.

Can you please increase your font size. It is so small I am having trouble reading it.

How can you say "post whatever you want to post" and " DO NOT TELL ME OR ANYONE ELSE ON THIS FORUM WHAT I OR THEY CAN OR CAN'T POST" ?
I'm going to try, to the best of my ability, since you told me "Reading in fundamental......comprehending what you're reading is extremely more difficult.....", to try and decipher your response. I believe and I could be wrong, since you seem to be right, and we disagree, therefore you are right, so if A then B and if B then C therefore if A then C whichs makes only you right. Anyway, your statements are contradictions!!! and since you like to back all of your beliefs/statements with rules and information I'll back for you........to contradict is "To assert or express the opposite of (a statement)" you can't say post whatever you want except posting something I tell you you can't............I never told anyone what to post, I merely asked the question as to why you were allowed to and I wasn't, so maybe it is you that needs some reading comprehension, oh but wait, I forgot, you are right. I'm sorry for trying to prove you wrong, I merely wanted to show that jusy becuase you've been posting forever and you and others make think you are always right.......you're not!!! and that's ok but you won't except it.

Apparently individual states, or portions of states, have the freedom to ignore certain portions of the rules. If NFHS learns of this, is there ever any kind of penalty involved for this noncompliance?

That pretty much says it all right there. Your ability to comprehend what you are being told is non-existent.

Try deciphering this.......go away, troll.

Yes, if a state elects to deviate from the NFHS rules then that state forfeits its right to submit rule changes to the NFHS committee and also loses its ability to have a representative sit on the national rules committee.

That's the penalty. As an example, the state of CA currently suffers this in order to employ a shot clock for both boys and girls games.

Look, you're right about this. He's telling you not to tell people what they shouldn't post, while telling you what you shouldn't post. It's not the first time, and it won't be the last. You're right. He's cranky. Ok? Happy now?

Having said that, why in the world would you choose this topic as your first foray into this forum? And having done so, why would you persist in arguing it?

If you've been here as long as you say you have, then you've seen this exact type of thread go down this exact same path many times. Somebody tries to say, "Can't we all just get along?", only it comes across as, "You guys are a**holes, lighten up." Everybody else gets pissed and the thread goes down the toilet.

Here's my very humble suggestion. Delete your very first post that started this thread. That will delete the entire thread. Then start a new thread that goes something like: "Long time lurker, first time poster. Love your forum. I had a question on a backcourt situation in my game last night. . . ."

Hope you stick around, but let's get rid of this stoopid thread.

I didn't. I said: "Here's my very humble suggestion." It's what I might do in his shoes, but I won't be offended if he doesn't follow the suggestion.

I also have a suggestion for you. . .

And what, exactly, give you the right to very humbly suggest what he might or might not do?

I'm trying to come up with a joke about a Twinkie, Alberto Gonzalez and the Patriot Act, but it's not working.

I dunno, just mentioning all three in the same sentance is kinda funny.

Not that I'm telling you what to do...

I heard that what ALberto Gonzalez was caught doing to the twinkie is now referred to as "the Patriot Act."

Eww...no wonder everyone seems to be against it.
