jTheUmp Of course, some would say that Norman Dale is a bad coach bad coach. I suppose, if a coach comes up to me and requests to be kicked out of a game, who am I to argue with him? I'd want my partner to hear the conversation though, so that I have backup when I have to fill out the incident report and make the phone call to my assigner.
MD Longhorn dsqrddgd909 wroteI may have missed what the consensus was when we discussed this earlier ... http://forum.officiating.com/basketball/93947-refuses-play-5-a.html and case ruling 3.1.1. "Team B must have five *players participating as long as it has that number available. "Yes... but it's up to the coach (and not us) to determine whether a particular player is "available" or not. Rade Butcher was not available. Incidentally, the "consensus", as you say, from the post you quoted was rather clear here. WE do not determine player availability. The coach does. That post doesn't prove your point... it actually disproves it.

Thanks for the clarification.

Think about whether or not you wanna be on this team or not... under the following condition. What I say when it comes to this basketball team is the law, absolutely and without discussion." And it can't happen under the rules, but I still get teary eyed when he says my team is on the floor. Shooter..... "We're going to run the picket fence at 'em, Jimmy you're solo right, Merle you're the swingman.....now boys don't get caught watching the paint dry."

Judtech The sun don't shine on the same dogs *** everyday. But Mister? You ain't seen a ray of light since you been here. Sunday. Supper.
ballgame99 Haven't seen it in a while, but my favorite line was when the kid that's not supposed to shoot is making it rain, coach says "what's gotten into you?", "It's the Lord, I can feel his strength!" "Let's keep the strength in the dribble" Cracks me up everytime.
fullor30 Pantherdreams wroteLet's be real polite here . . . There are two kinds of crazy . . . The actor who said those lines and was the interim coach was there the other night, Chelcie Ross. He played Coach Dan Devine in Rudy and was also in Major League. great character actor. Theater was packed, everybody knew the lines, and one scene in locker room when a single clap gets faster louder by the team, the audience was clapping along with. great stuff Bobby Plump the real life Jimmy Chitwood was on Skype and talked for a few minutes along with answering questions. Fun night. SRO
