And based on some the questions asked by some posters I wouldn't assume everyone is in possession of a rule book.

Like you are assuming newer officials would not know the difference? There are many newer officials that work other sports as well. Depending on the sports others might work, basketball is not nearly as complicated when it comes to rules differences from one level to another as it is in sports like football or baseball and even softball.

Why is it bad to clarify, Rut?

Can you quote anywhere I said it was bad to clarify? I was just pointing out that it was rather obvious we were talking about a college game. NCAA Rules were quoted as well.

Sorry, "sad" was your word.

Yes it is sad. When you have the title of the thread involves college teams and a rule quoted in the first few threads, it is sad you have to point out the obvious. I would take a completely different attitude if someone did not clarify the level and did not quote the rule for that level.

Sorry if I offended anyone with a clarification. Although probably 98% to 99% of NCAA and NFHS rules are the same, this one is different.

What's sad IMO is forgetting that some who read and post here are just getting started in an avocation that others have been involved in for many years and truly don't know there is a difference.

No apology necessary. The thread took a sad turn, all right, but not because of you.
