I know you say that with a smile, :D.

P.S. You didn't wish this bald old geezer Happy Birthday yesterday. You have to start reading the bottom of the Forum Home Page every morning.

Now here is the real question?

Do other official's associations call these admin T's.... I have been in one game where we had a T ... The starting lineup was not in until the National Anthem and the opposing coach was complaining.... We had even talked to the offending team at about 8 minute left and they did not fix it then...


I know we have this rule but practically Im not sure it makes much difference

You can choose to enforce whatever rule you want to. If it comes down to it you don't have a pot to piss in if you get called on it, and you have no argument. Common sense is a rules enforcement's best friend.

Hank Zaborniak of the OhioHSAA.
 

I discovered this discrepency in the two Casebook Plays in early October and had planned to send an email to Hank Zaborniak. For those who do not know who Hank is. Hank was until the middle of October an Assistant Commissioner of the OhioHSAA. When Hank resigned his position with the OhioHSAA he had to step down as Chairman of the NFHS Basketball Rules Committee even though his term was going to end at the end of the 2012-13 school year. Therefore, I have sent an email to Peter Webb. Peter is the State Basketball Rules Interpreter for the Maine Principals' Association, as well as the State Rules Intepreter for IAABO. Petere has a long association with the NFHS Rules Committee and if there is anyone in the country that can give us the correct ruling it is he.

And neither of you wished this old geezer Happy Birthday last Saturday. BTW - I'm an old geezer but I'm not bald......yet. :o

What does any discussion on this forum solve? It's a point that a longtime member of the forum posted about. If you don't want to discuss it, then don't. But it seems that's not the case. So I guess the real question is, why are you still discussing it?

And yes, there's an explicit ruling. In fact, there are two of them and the "Comment" creates a contradiction.

I took it as a rule change being announced with a new case play ruling.
I did not bother to check if the previous ruling was still in the book as MTD did.

I don't care which way the NFHS does it as long as it picks one.

The NFHS has an administrator monitor this Forum twenty-four, seven. He's glued to his computer monitor and reads every word that we post. He forwards our complaints, and recommendations, to the NFHS editor, who carefully weighs our opinions and makes rule changes, caseplay interpretations, and Points of Emphasis, based on what is discussed here on the Forum. Of course, everybody already knows that.

They also have insiders acting as agents to covertly identify spelling mistakes and poor English grammar in hastily composed responses...

Shhhhh! Be aware! He's lurking and reading.






Sorry :p

Stupid Spell Check ...
 

Is that what the guys in the black helicopters are doing, identifying spelling mistakes, and poor English grammar? I've always wondered about the purpose of their mission. Would it help if I covered my computer monitor with tin foil?

Happy Birthday Mark!!

MTD. Sr.

Bring it back on topic fellas.

You're kidding, right? Please tell me you're kidding. :rolleyes:

if post #25 is on topic, then yes.

Johnny;

As my boys say, take a chill pill. Sometimes we forget and take ourselves too seriously. It will get back on topic soon enough.

MTD, Sr.

P.S. I am the one who started this thread and I don't have problems with the posts so far, except with the people who don't agree with me, :D.
