When we met the V coach at our JuCo game last night, he asked specifically about the new NCAAW 10-second BC rule. Claimed that "many" officials from his area did not know about the rule.

There doesn't seem to be any reason why officials DON'T learn the new rules.

Should? yes
Do? No

As for association meetings, very few go to them all, and very few really pay attention to the in depth rules discussions. How many of your meetings do you spend significant time talking about the uniform rules?

There are enough threads here describing association meetings where some very basic rulings are debated in ways that can only be explained by wide spread rule ignorance.

Add to that the general lack of interest in these fashion rules, coupled with the increasing complexity of those rules, and you're going to have a lot of officials

I understand this, but that's not my point. The point is that officials are given the resources to learn, so saying "I didn't know the rule" is ridiculous. If anything, it tells me that that official doesn't care.

I agree that it's ridiculous. I don't think it means they don't care, though. Well, maybe they don't care about the fashion rules. There are a lot of obscure rules that people don't always know, they just don't have much of a need to learn.

I've worked with a lot of good, solid, dedicated officials who don't know specific rules (had a long discussion once with an official for whom I have a lot of respect about whether a shot at the wrong basket should count if time expires prior to the ball going in) that they never have the occasion to use.

Okay, perhaps saying they don't care is going too far, but they sure as hell can't complain that they weren't given the opportunity to learn.

We called a 10 second BC violation in our JuCo game last week...the coach didn't know the new rule....

True, but I've never heard them complain. That wasn't my point. My point was in contrast to Billy's claim that it's stupidity rather than ignorance.

Well, as it turns out, it's not 100% factual. It isn't Spud Webb in the photo, it's Muggsy Bogues.
