His point is that even when the rules are the same officials are confused or just plain don't know the rules so quit all the whining about different rule sets.


And I'm saying a good official knows multiple rule sets if he/she is working different levels. And a coach should know the rules that apply to his games. And I don't care dif fans are confused.

Whining? Interesting choice of words...

I could care less whether rulesets are common or different. We get paid to know the rules for the gym we are working in that evening.

But to bring that discussion into Adam's thread is unnecessary. And to call someone else's opinion on it "whining" is stooping to the same level that the "college official" in Adam's OP stooped to.

Who's whining? I'm not. I'm just saying the with more differences in the rules it can only lead to even more people being mixed up, officials included. It can't make it better. It would only make the environment of basketball for all involved if there were fewer differences.

There are not very many differences. At least not when you compare basketball to other sports for sure.
