Any other associations had similar discussion ?

Of all of the thousands of topics you could discuss at a basketball meeting and your association chooses to talk about additional sleeving of a knee brace that meets all current rules and safety standards. No other pressing issues happening in the basketball world in Canada?

Shoot, more than half the discussions we have in our meetings is about uniforms, hair control devices, etc. Basically stuff that has nothing to do with what happens on the floor. I mean, does it really affect the outcome of a game is there is more than one manufacturers logo on the socks? Please!

We do this thing every year it's called reviewing rule changes.

Try it some time, it will make you a better official.

And the initial attack on my associations activities and basketball in general wasn't?

There is a rule change. We review them.

The rule change in question has sparked 2 pages of debate here and he is slagging how we talked about it?

I stand by my remarks.
