Block shot attempt, slap back-board?

How you approach this is important, and is also dependent on your relationship with the assignor. Good luck.

I liked it all except the red I like my bosses to KNOW that I KNOW the rules when I'm working their contests. I would simply provide the location where he could find the rule... because I already "know it." Not that I would come off in that manner

Very fair point. I think we see this the same way - just find a diplomatic way to say, "I knew the rule, and then I went back and looked again and here it is," without being a smart a$$.
