Man, those were certainly the good ole days.
Wouldn't it make more sense to stay focused on the OP since he hasn't answered it yet?

I hoped Billy would just paste the rule rather than actually answer the question.

The triumph of hope over experience.

I'm at work, with no access to rule books, online, or other. Normally you can count on me to post citations from rule books, and casebooks, just not when I'm at work. I'm one of the few here on the Forum that realizes that not all Forum members have access to a rulebook, or casebook: coaches, players, fans, etc.

I'm normaly a big proponent of, “Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime".

Welpe shamed me into answering the question outright.

Sorry.

No worries, Billy. If I had my books with me, I would have posted the rule myself. I honestly thought you would (not knowing about your recent separation anxiety).

My crack about hope was just that, a crack.

Hey knock it off, evidently I'm the one passing the shame around today.

Or you ramble endlessly and post pictures of fish, and cause the man to lose his appetite. (along with the rest of us)

Very tempting, but I'm in a twelve step program.

No what I said was "the OP...he hasn't answered it yet".

In other words, shouldn't the original poster have a chance to respond to his own question before going off into the weeds in the Wayback Machine™?

Why does your PC have access to non-sensical images but not to rules?

Thanks for your answers. I'm at work also and don't have a rule book today but just wandering is there a website where I can find the rule book in case I forget my book again ?

There is no website that I know of that has been given copyright privileges to publish any of the NFHS books. They used to be available online to any NFHS member, but announced last year that they were ending the practice due to illegitimate distribution of downloaded books. To my knowledge (which, along with 5.00, will get you into a middle school girls basketball game) they are not available online. If you find somewhere that they are, it seems to me that it would be copyright infringement.
Others may correct me on this.
Best to just keep your books with you where ever you go--work, home, fishing, deer stand, bed--everywhere.

I Told You That It Was A Long Story ...

Long story. Basketball officials in Connecticut (100% IAABO) don't being to the NFHS. I've been able to join the NFHS in the past by paying my NFHS dues to my interscholastic athletic state governing body and pretending (with my governing body's permission) to be a volleyball official (which I'm not) which got me access to NFHS online rulebooks, casebooks, etc. When the NFHS and Arbiter got together I got shut out of their online library because I'm not on the Arbiter list for volleyball (because I'm not a volleyball official). The NFHS does not recognize Connecticut Arbiter basketball lists because no basketball officials in Connecticut are NFHS members.

In a few weeks I'll be on the Forum asking for PDF NFHS rulebooks, and casebooks. I hope that I can get access to these PDF files because I'm not a very good typist (keyboarder). A few Forum members have helped me out in the past, I hope that they can help me about again, but I am concerned that the NFHS may have decided not to publish PDF files. By the way. I did send in a check for my NFHS dues back in August, so I'm not looking for something for nothing.
