Evidently, I'm not allowed to express it though. If you deleted my last two responses, that bullsh!t.

Rut can sling insults at me and I can't respond? :mad:

The first post contained three serious questions for BITS, now deleting that one wasn't right at all.

1) I also delete his posts when required.

2) If your post only contained the three questions, it wouldn't have been deleted.

Well since you just went back and deleted his last post, I now have to consider it just, but when I wrote that you had only deleted mine. That upset me.

3 questions for BITS:
1. Are the camps run by the D1 womens folks intended to be instructional HS camps or tryout camps for college?
2. Are you saying that due to the time you spent at these camps this summer your end line whistle for the HS season is now a habit?
3. If we apply your logic of 'the extraneous whistle doesn't matter because people just notice the official doing what he is supposed to be doing' to the following would you think it is okay too?
Every time the official arrives at the reporting area he sounds the whistle prior to speaking to the table. What do you think of that?

No whistle unless one is needed to signal basket or no basket. The horn ends the 1/4. Our association does not recognize a need to blow a whistle after the horn has already went off. As stated before, it only draws attention to the refs, and can cause confusion concerning whether there is a foul or not.

Thank you. :)

1. Some are one; some are the other. But you know how it goes. Every camp he puts on is a tryout camp in somebody's mind ;)

2. Yes. It became habit pretty quickly. And I've found no reason to try and break these habits.

3. I'll try it and let you know how it goes. ;)

You left out:

7) Who gives a sh!t anyway?

I will take "Who gives a sh!t" for 1000 Alex. http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...mages/clap.gif

Cross-reference the thread about "jumping out of bounds" to make a pass.

Place all in folder marked "Paralysis Through Analysis." Or alternatively "Silly Monkeys."

I'm along with a few others here. For HS, I don't whistle the end, even to wave off or score the goal. Only time is whistle at the end of a period is if there is a foul, and MAYBE a violation.

End of Qtr./Game Whistle
 

NFHS Rule 5-8-2d

We all know that the horn is information only for substitution purposes, and we have a specific procedure we go through to allow substitutes to enter the game.

We also tell players to ignore horns when the ball is live. It is not the responsibility of the players to judge the status of the ball at the end of the period, or when there could have been an inadvertant horn.

The horn is information that time has run out of the quarter. Officials determine if there is any foul/violation/tap/try that has to be judged on before the quarter actually ends.

Since players are conditioned to stop play when they hear a whistle, the responsible official should sound their whistle to get the players attention to prevent further/unecessary play.

Also sounding your whistle right away and waving off a tap or try provides immediate information of your ruling.

Don't resurrect old threads.
