Jurassic Referee: I don't know how to view your post, real, funny, sarcastic, etc. I'm sure that after reading my posts on this Forum for about three years, you, with you're great basketball intellect (not sarcastic), know that I am an active, "approved", basketball official, who has a rule book.

If you're implying that I'm lazy, OK, you're welcome to your opinion, but I think that some of my posts will show you that I'm willing to actively participate, and give citations, not just post my opinion, when I feel that I may have something to contribute to the discussion.

The reason that I asked you for citations was that, even thought I consider myself to be pretty good with the rules, I'm a member of my local board's training committee, I have often wondered about this situation, that is, by rule, because I agreed with you. Since you seemed so sure of the rule I thought that you could put your finger on the citation in a matter of seconds, certainly a lot faster than I could.

This Forum provides me with answers to a lot of rule, interpretation, and mechanics information. It has made me a better official. Is it wrong of me to take advantage of this, and to hope that knowledgeable posters, like yourself, and a few others, will continue to post reliable and credible information?

I spend a lot of time with my rule book, but when I'm at my computer, I do have other interests, gardening, chemistry, astronomy, meteorology, financial investing, etc. I do not always have a rule book at my computer. At this time of year, it's often packed in my bag.
