Why Does That Crazy Old Man Like Jump Balls So Much ???

Billy, the surgery went fine.

Great news. Now, can they fix your "carpal tunnel vision" regarding the alternating possession arrow?

It is a well known fact that I do not like the AP Rule and Billy and I have fun with our positions. That said, I would never (with apologies to the late J. Dallas Shirley), if I were a member of the NFHS or NCAA Rules Committee propose a rule removing the AP Rule from the Rules Book, nor would I vote for such a change if someone proposed such a change (unless I know that the rule change would be approved by at least a 95% yes vote). Why? While I do not believe it was a rules change that needed to be made, and while we have resurrected old rules (i.e., not shooting free throws for all TC fouls, yes, read the rules from "The Ancient Days") I am getting too old (and lazy, heck I am too lazy to toss the ball just once a game or chop in the clock to star the game as the U1) to have to toss the ball more than once a game, :D.

So I will continue to denounce the AP Rule as an abomination upon the game and Billy will tell this bald old geezer to be quiet, :D. And everybody will have a good laugh.

We've got a few coaches that run a play called "Five out." :eek: Talk about Flinchy McFlincher every time they run it...

My two cents.
 
I think the NCAA rewriting of the TF rules and the Flagrant Fouls 1 and 2 are just plain stupid and overly officious. All I can say is that just don't get me started and I would vote to rewind the clock at least ten years.
