Annual NF rule change thread

In high school, our coach had the best FT shooter on the team toe the line whenever possible after a nearby teammate was fouled. Happened a handful of times. Maybe less. Was easy enough to play off with confusion if ever questioned by a man with a whistle. Was corrected maybe 25% of the time.

So, as an official, this is probably a POE for you. Know the shooter.

I can neither confirm nor deny any personal involvment in a similar situation as a certain poster would be more likely to believe you then me!! I can also not state with any certainty that it also helps your scoring average!!

When I played I did this once; I got away with it. It was not at the direction of our coach, however.

Frankly, while it may be a good thing to do, strategically; I find it to be poor coaching. In order to agree with me, though, you'll have to think coaching at the amateur level is about more than winning games.

SNAQ I would lOVE to agree with you but that may hurt your credibility on this board. So in THAT vein, I can't believe you would have such a nieve, innocent and quite frankly eggregiously out of touch expectation of athletics at the amateur level

My credibility level here is set in stone at this point, I think. What that level is, I have no idea.
