"Wait, not him..."
 

B-1 fouls A-1 and is injured on the play. Team A is in the bonus. A-6 reports for A-1 and is beckoned into the game. Prior to A-6 entering the semi-circle to attempt the free throws, the coach has second thoughts and sends A-7 to replace A-6.

Official denies A-7 from entering the game to replace A-6. Is the official correct, and what's the rationale?

A1's sub has to shoot; A6 is A1's sub, so unless he's injured, he has to shoot now.

+1 This is not a tech.

Not to be an English major, But B1 is the subject of your double verb, fouled and injured.

Since I screwed up in a game last night, I'll deflect that by being petty!

The knives are coming out now, :D.

P.S., I agree with your evaluation of his grammar, he had me guessing for a moment too.

So now there is a Mr. Annoying Sentence Structure Guy? Or is that a function of Mr. Annoying Grammar Guy?:confused:

What's worse? Poor grammar ot terrible spelling?

Hmmmmmm....maybe we should have a poll.....

The word is "or", not "ot." :D

I'm just plain annoying to my daughter..........

Misspellid you can alway clame just a typow

Actually, I'm a big believer in good grammar. I find it funny when other officials, who profess in being exact about the rules, groan about those who take that approach with sentence structure.

Fullor30, are you talking about a mixture of tenses in the double verb? (I copied and pasted the question.)

DOH!! I do not know which is worse, my eyesight or my typing. LOL

MTD, Sr.

Well, aren't a lot of the test questions using precise language in order to have the test taker arrive at the proper response? It is an extension of that mind set in my opinion.

Coaches would claim the former. Everyone else on this board would think you are only making excuses.

Not always. I think we've all found grammatical errors on these questions.
