So some coach think the rules define traveling in terms of how far a player can jump?

Wow.

Wow.

Rule change for '13-'14, coaches have to take same test as officials??

Edit: On second thought, not sure if that would increase our headaches or decrease them...

Good idea. I wouldn't make this a condition of coaching, but if they fail the test they must wear a dunce cap to every contest.

Coaches complain as it is. And Even worse when it looks funny. Especially if their own players can't stop it or do the same as the other players.

"Coach, ugly is not illegal."

Useful because without being confrontational it acknowledges the accuracy of the coach's perception that something unusual and bad happened while asserting the correctness of the no-call by rule.

Used a similar line last week, "that was just an awkward, ugly dribble."

I said this earlier this season to a coach on a high dribble that he wanted called a carry. His response was "I played basketball, I know what a carry is!"

This just happenes to be the coach that I ejected in the 4th quarter of that same game.

That is why I often ask (when I have time), "Which one was the pivot foot?" Usually stops a lot of conversations about traveling because coaches often use myths or non-rulebook standards to complain.

Traveling is all about the pivot foot and what they can do with one if they established one (or both in some cases).

In Kansas, head coaches are in fact required to take the same NFHS test as officials and pass it.

That being said, they all get the answers from somewhere and pass them around to each other, so...
