No doubt, I totally agree!
There's no absolutes or always in officiating, because it's not a science, it's an art form!

Do you feel bigger up there on that horse?

Why in the world would you post a message to yourself?

I'm kind of confused. I was taught, many years ago, that the T is supposed to be at the division line during the first free throw for subs, etc. As far as I know, that is the mechanic.

Nevada, are you telling us something that everyone else has been wrong about? Ironically, at least one of BNR's supervisors used to be my supervisor too. Even more ironically, Nevada was in an area where he could have had direct or indirect contact with this same supervisor - Donnee Gray. The last irony (for me anyway) is that I know BNR and Nevada.

Nevada, the guys in Southern Nevada stand at half court...I'm just saying.

Even more ironically I lived in Nevada for 5 years and Tomegun used to officiate my games long before I ever considered becoming an official. Kevin Bacon is sure to pop up somewhere in this thread.
