Why? Why would you act (by saying something) like that. Everything has to be an attack by some on these boards.

I have posted on here before that this site is a huge reference for many coaches and fans! The posts I have made asking about situations are for those fans and coaches to see from the experts on this board. It is valuable site for many.

99% of people who are not officials don't have a rule book. Don't you realize our society has changed and the way people research or look things up is via Google or a message board.

The information that most fans go off of is what they see themselves at games, or from when they played the game.

Yes, it's true a lot of information can be found via Google or other sites, however to get anything from the rule book, those that aren't officials, must either come to a forum like this for an understanding, know someone who is an official, or have a way to get a rule book by buying it.

I have a better understanding of the rules thanks to posting, but also just by reading posts. Also, been learning that there's more to both officiating & working the table than I thought there was.

Speaking of the 2 person OOB throw-in, isn't this normally only used when the defense is using full-court press or are there other times this is used?

The first time I remember seeing this was the DU vs. SU Game. To me, it's interesting that this play isn't done more often.

What would be the purpose of using it if there was no pressure? Just inbound the ball. That's why you don't see it at other times.

You need to watch more basketball.

Bob, I've been watching basketball, however the basketball I've been watching has been inside the endlines & sidelines, as a fan.

It hasn't been till recently that I've been watching the throw-ins more.

Yes as table crew I've been watching everything, but it hadn't sank in about the OOB Plays as I am not thinking like a fan.

While I agree that the attack was unwarranted, the underlying question seems valid to me.

You've been here for 3 years, and 440 posts, and I'm sure (95%) that the question you asked has been discussed, and it's pretty basic. So, I have to wonder why you asked it?

Bob,

I tried to send you a private message, but you don't accept them. I have never been confrontational or caused any problems on this site. Why you ask:

I have said on here previously that there are several coaches (parents and sometimes players) that have questions regarding the rules. It's very easy for me to post a simple situation and have any of you who are experts answer for the world to see.

Sure, some may have been asked before , but It's possible that I may have missed those times it was discussed.

What is the percentage of the questions that are asked on here are "pretty basic?"

Thanks for having a great resource to all - not only officials.
