So, how'd you like a game to start like THIS?

Don't you think that a better alternative might be to submit the question to a member of the NFHS rules committee, a state rules interpreter or a knowledgable, accepted source?

He's talking about a poll here on the board. Not official, not binding. Relax.

And just exactly what would the results of said poll actually prove?

ANSWER: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

You could have one of the choices of the poll being the person who spilled the powder be castrated and horsewhipped. If 84% of the respondents choose that option, does that mean that is the correct and approved way to handle the situation?

A poll is a complete waste of time and a complete WOBW. That was my point.

Good grief. Are you really this full of yourself? 75% of what goes on this board would be considered by someone to be a waste of bandwidth.

Time is up. Poll closed.

T 0

No T 1

The no's have it. Don't waste any more of that guy's time and bandwidth.

What if, during introductions, Billy (star player) sees his girlfriend Cindy (hot cheerleader across court) flirting with another guy (visiting team fan)? He throws open water bottle at her, gets water on floor. He did not think the water would hit the floor, only her. She goes to gymnastic equipment to get powder to throw back, and gets it in the water. She did not think it would get on the floor, only him. Now we have a mess on the floor. Do we T or warn Billy, Cindy or the visiting team/fan? Man Oh Man! This used to be a good forum for rules interpretations, but sometimes turns into more of a chat room for bored officials.
