Sub becomes a Player?
I am just want to see if the following question is splitting hairs with the way it is worded??
If a substitute enters illegally, he becomes a player after the ball becomes live? My answer key has this question as T, but the rule book specifically states that a sub becomes a player when the ball becomes live, not after. So which is it --- when the ball becomes live or after it becomes live. Or would you consider these two occurrences to be at the same time? I am probably reading too much into the question?? Thanks in advance! |

I am just asking a simple question. However it only seems reasonable to me that if the NFHS is going to use this question, then why not use this question as it is written in their rule book. I agree that if a sub is a player when the ball becomes live, then he is a player after the ball becomes live. I am simply wanting other opinions regarding this basic question without the elementary and childish responses from the guys who post most frequently. Responses like this does not encourage other members to post questions.

The test question is not, in fact, splitting hairs. It takes "when" and "after" to be the same for the purposes of becoming a legal player. Your question attempts to split that hair, and the responses you got seem to indicate that your concern is unnecessary. Feel free to post your own childish joke |

I could care less about how fast I receive a response from my post. If the response is sarcastic as a lot of the response are, then how fast or slow I receive it is irrelevant. Although I have not posted near as many threads as some members of the forum, I visit this site quite regularly, especially during the season and sometimes cringe when I read some of the inappropriate and catty response that some members post. Just simply answer the questions and quite trying to knock other members down. This isn't grade school guys !!!!! |

If the language of the question doesn't quite match that of the book, too bad. Ambiguous, vague, and poorly worded questions are not accidental but tactical.

One exception. If you see a post by Old School, ignore everything he has to say. We scared him away, but you never know, he could be back.

The natural response when reading the question, especially when the stakes of the test are high (ratings, money, or whatever), is to overthink the question and start splitting hairs. We've all done it, and to a degree, we all still do it from time to time. If you wanted to know if we think the question should be worded differently, you should have asked that question instead of getting huffy when we don't answer a question you didn't ask. My further point is that the NFHS has already demonstrated an inability to recognize the difference between those two terms.
