It's true, in general. I've noticed the fans of some schools also know more than at other schools.

I was actaully referring to the fact that on the whole HS basketball fans tend to be a bit more knowledgable than youth league basketball fans, if for no other reasons than they have sat through more games. But your point is also taken, and while it's nice to see, it's sometimes worse.

I can handle the idiots who stand and scream about stuff and clearly have no idea what they are talking about. What gets under my skin is the very rare occassion when someone from the crowd corrects me on some obsucre rule and they are actually right.

If the coach infers my first statement to mean that any contact during a rebound is a foul that's his problem. The minimum requiremet for a foul is contact, it's not the only requirement.

Yeah, of course you can't say that whole long sentence. But if you shorten it too much like the one poster did then other problems are created.
