I certainly hope that the tournament organizer responded by telling him that it's because he's a silly ex-HS player who never made it to the NBA.

LOL I need to remember that one for the next time...

I,too, have heard the silly HS rules and not the NBA rules spiel.

Next time, tell them you're playing under NBA rules, then stop the game every five minutes for a TV timeout. Also, draw the correct 3-point line on the floor with paint.

...and have them make sure that they have the $500 to pay if they get called for a technical foul. That one should end most of the discussion.

Sorry Mark this one was a swing and a miss, kinda like Beltre.

Beltre needs to do his little summer heat up for me. My fantasy offense is melting already and Beltre, believe it or not, could supply some welcome relief.
