For one, if Poindexter's friends/coaches tried telling me that, I'd know they were lying. They don't try. Every time I have to say anything (arm bands, ipod, earrings) in warm-ups, I get the same response. "Oh yeah, sorry." And it's a legitimate "sorry," as you can see in their face they just forgot.

Sounds like you guys really got your act together. It's amazing how easy this can be when everybody's on the same page. Keep up the good work.

That's a lot of it, it can't be a one-man crusade. The whole association has to be on board.

Billy....
Thanks for your post. Starting my 3rd year and taking my local board's test for certification next week. In addition to studying my rule and case book and doing practice tests, your list of misunderstood rules has helped solidify in my mind the concepts and rationale of so many basic rules. For example what wrote about traveling and dribbling has already made reading and understanding sample test questions that ask "is this a travel? or is this a double dribble"? not only easier to answer correctly, but to answer confidently.

Thanks for Posting

Special Thanks to BillyMac for posting this listing. I plan to pass it on to some new officials that will be working youth recreation bkball, and maybe even to the coaches in the league, may be of some help to the coaches.

You may want to delete the words, "gains an advantage" from the rule regarding palming or carrying? I'm not, but I'm sure that many others will.

It depends; are you describing the rule, or the way it's enforced in your area of "Connecticut."
