If you are willing to stick around, take some heat for your comments, and open your mind to learning new things, then the folks here will increase your rules knowledge and make you a better official. Best wishes.

Great post, maybe the post of the month. What makes it so good are the relevant citations, not just numbers, but the whole citation for those coaches, and fanboys, who may not have a rulebook, or a casebook. I, a twenty-eight year veteran, had to be reminded of some of those old citations. I'm glad that you were not one of the Forum members to be driven away, but to stick around, while I was going through my mad image posting stage.

Speaking of citations. Two of my three free sources of citations has disappeared form the internet, the NFHS rules, and the NFHS caseplays, from the EOfficials website. The only free citations that I can find are the NFHS rules only on the Middle Tennessee Basketball Officials Association website, and portions of the longer rules, like Rule 4 Definitions, aren't included. Are there any other free websites available, and if not, what is the cheapest way to get access to NFHS rules, and caseplays, online? NFHS? EOfficials? Someplace else? I'm so cheap that I squeeze a nickel so tightly that the buffalo has a bowel movement.

Great segue from the buffalo on the tail side of the nickel, to the proud Native American on the other side, to Happy Thanksgiving.
