Behind the times, haven't quite grasped dropbox yet....afraid of things going poof.

Never had an issue in the two years I've been using it. Google has a similar service and they are pretty solid so I don't think that would be an issue. Cloud computing...the next wave of technology.

Identify the "star," identify the @$$hole.

Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft SkyDrive, you're a thousand times safer storing documents on any of these than on your own PC or a flash drive.

Dropbox has been awesome for me this year... This was the first year that I utilized it in my game. I have a shared folder with about 10 other officials that we all use to share video clips quickly and easily between each other. It's been great!

I've also used it to keep my pregame and other important docs (monitor rules, fighting rules, etc.) with me at all times on my phone or iPad!

Dropbox is your friend!

It works like any normal map, however instead of storing the data that is in the map on your harddisk, it is stored on a remote server. This means that other devices (smartphones, laptops etc..) and other people (if you give them permission) can also access the data.

It is stored on a so-called cloud network with backups (even including older versions of your document), so the risk of things going poof is virtually zero (or at least way smaller than when you store them on your own harddisk).

Still doesn't answer the time honored question: If the first punch (and maybe the only punch) is thrown during a live ball, is the foul charged as a technical flagrant foul, or a personal flagrant foul. And it does make a difference in terms of who gets to shoot the free throws, the punchee; his substitute, if the punchee is injured and must be removed from the game; or the best free throw shooter on the team, who happens to be sitting on the bench.

That question is easily answered.

Any contact foul during a live ball is a personal foul, never technical.

A swing/miss with be a flagrant technical foul because you can't have a personal foul without contact.

I don't allow fights in my games. 12 seasons down, knock on wood.

Also can't remember last tech to coach, If I do anything well, I can communicate with coaches.

Easily answered? So esteemed Forum members came to a consensus based on NFHS rules? I thought that there was still some disagreement regarding this issue?
