Penalty for unauthorized leaving floor

[chartrusepengui]

You haven't read anything like that from me, so let's not start down that road. In fact, I haven't looked back over the whole thread, but I don't recall seeing any posts like that at all.

scrapper - I was not accusing you personally - I didn't say I read those messages from you so I wasn't going down that road.

You're going to call the game the way you call the game - that does not make it right nor wrong. However - please don't say that I am mistaken.

As he rises to the balls of his feet to release his first free throw, the toe of his sneaker touches the edge of the free throw line. I submit to you that if you call that violation and essentially end the game in that situation that you simply don't understand what's important in the game of basketball. That toe barely touching the edge of that line has nothing to do with the game and should not be called a violation.

Point is - toe on the line is a violation

you simply don't understand what's important in the game of basketball.

tell that to the team and coach that lost because you kicked a rule - I'll bet they don't feel the same as you do.

Do what you want but IMO you are not correct in this situation

And I know that a college assignor would kill you for calling it. A high school assignor might not kill you, but I bet you'd get a phone call explaining the facts of life in no uncertain terms.

maybe where you live but in fact I have gotten games both HS Var and JUCO because I had the courage to make that call.

I guess it's just different strokes for different folks. Neither one of us is going to change the other's mind and we both feel the other is mistaken.

But - for the record - I do respect and enjoy reading many of the posts you have put out in the past. I find I agree with you in most situations. Sometimes it's good to air out differences - this being one of those times.

Happy and safe holidays
