From the files of the Mythbusters.

Players commit fouls and violations; officials view those infractions, judge the action, and then apply the rules of the game to what they had viewed. The rules then determine the penalty.

Forget the Mythbusters.

From the NFHS rule book re: THE INTENT AND PURPOSES OF THE RULES...

A player or team should not be permitted an advantage which is not intended by a rule. Neither should play be permitted to develop which may lead to placing a player at a disadvantage not intended by a rule.

So, you don't believe that it's a myth that officials can determine the outcome of a game? I think that mbyron, and Snaqwells (see above), think it's a myth.

It is my opinion that many fans, players, and coaches, believe that officials determine the outcome of a game. Officials know that it's only a myth. No different than fans yelling three seconds when the ball is still in the backcourt. This "outcome of the game" myth should not be ignored. It needs to be "busted".

He's just saying the "myth busters" schtick is getting old from overuse. I'm not saying he's right, but I'm just sayin'...

The Forum keeps getting the same mythological questions from newbies, players, coaches, and fanboys, all the time. The list was a group effort. It's just a simple way to answer these type of questions. Just a simple copy and paste. Boring? Yes. But so are some of the mythological questions we get, on the Forum, and in real life. What's wrong with having a little fun with the same old, same old, questions by using the same old, same old, Mythbusters list?
