What do you call here

Hawkk: With all due respect, your post doesn't make sense, at least to me. Also, why discuss how and why rules should be, could be, and ought to be different than they are (how YOU think they should be)? We need to know and understand the rules, as written, according to NFHS (or whatever code you are working), like them, or not. Suggestions for change may be addresssed to the Rules Committee for consideration.

I'm not sure what you mean by doesn't make sense -- you think my proposed rule is a dumb idea, or you can't tell what the proposal is. Either way, you are oviously entiled to your opinion. Simply, I think the violations are rebounding violations, and therefore the remedy should pertain to the rebound, not the shot.

Why, you wonder, would I post a suggestion here on what I think the rule should be? B/c I know there are a lot of smart officials on this board, some of whom do have connections with the Rules Committee, directly or indirectly. And it seems to me that if folk here read it and say,hey, that makes sense and would make the game better, they might pass it on. And if those experienced folk say, hey, that's stupid becuase ____________, I learn something new about the game. That's why, on rare occaisons, I post ideas on what I think might make the game better. (IMHO the best change that could be made right now would be to get rid of the hopelessly stupid AP arrow -- at least for everyone but jr hi girls ....)
