I tried to stay out of this, but I cannot any longer. If you want to write a letter to John Adams, why are you posting this here? It is not like any of us are going to do anything about this. It was stupid on so many levels to post this here. It does not help your career and it certainly does not change the situation. If he did not want anyone to say anything to him, then do not post this garbage here. Grow a pair for sure. We always discuss, debate or dissect plays by officials and point out what they do wrong. We had a team control foul called and the officials in a Big Ten game allowed FTs to be shot. That is basic stuff and I would not think of writing a letter to the supervisor or John Adams to complain and certain if I did would not post it here. Actually what happen in this play was more likely to happen to all of us than what happened in the Big Ten game I referenced.

Go somewhere that really cares about this crap. Otherwise this is just crap.

Peace

Really? I've seen two high school games in the past three weeks where the officials have mistakenly granted a 1-1 on what should have been team control fouls. (Loose balls without a possession change, and the "offense" fouls trying to get the loose ball).

Since the rule has been implemented, I have never seen a single time where FTs were shot inappropriately. And really not a single time since the rule was clarified to the throw-in, I still have yet to see this situation. Usually someone talks to someone and prevents this even if it is on a loose ball. And what does all of this prove? I only can speak for what I have seen. And I am a gym rat for sure.

Peace
