(NBA) 0 and 00 on same team

[bwburke94]

Are 0 and 00 still banned on the same team in the NBA? I know it was banned in 2003, has the rule changed?

APG will be around soon to let you know.

No logical reason why this is disallowed in NFHS games, either. We allow 2 and 22, don't we?

Is it not allowed in NFHS?

OF course not.

This is not recent change in NFHS, is it? Hasn't that always been the rule? If that is the case, it has nothing to do with software.

Bob,

Of course not "what"? Not allowed at all? Or, allowed, but with penalty?

I recall a thread season before last where this situation was discussed and most of the discussion centered around an 2009/8/7 interpretation that not only allowed both numbers but it also allowed both player to play - with penalty, of course.

Is my memory failing me or am I misunderstanding your post?

I agree. While 2 and 22 aren't the same actual number, this isn't math class. The distinction on a uniform is just as valid between 0 and 00 as it is between 2 and 22. Not a major issue that needs addressed, though.

I thought I remember reading a long time ago that it had something to do with imputing the numbers in computers, both numbers (0 & 00) together can not be recognized. I could be wrong, hopefully someone will correct us.

Given that we survived Y2K, you would think we could design computers to differentiate between 0 and 00...

Indeed. Folx know it as two and twenty-two and yeah, we don't say twenty-two but that's how they see it.

0 and 00 are what? Oh and Oh-Oh? or maybe zero and double zero? Depends on your mechanic. Yeah, we can distinguish the two, but the game includes spectators and competing teams, either of which can easily be confuse by this nothing and double-nothing nonsense.

The math folks will tell us 00, 0, 00000, and 0000000000 are all the same number -- zero.

The only reason 00 exists is Jim Otto had a good thing going when the AFL was looking for anything that would draw some notice. Since then it has been nothing more than bid for cheap attention.

The suggestion that 0 and 00 (zero and zero) are the same as 2 and 22 (two and twenty-two) is patently absurd.

3.2.2 SITUATION B: Three minutes before the game starts, it is discovered: two Team B team members are wearing the same number. RULING: A technical foul is charged to Team B upon discovery of the identical numbers. Only one team member may wear a given number; the other must change to a number not already in use before participating. (10-1-2)

OK. Let's say that you're checking the book, pregame, at the twelve minute mark, and discover duplicate numbers. You approach the coach, and he doesn't have any extra jerseys. Besides erasing one of the numbers before the ten minute mark, what are his other options? Let's say that he refuses to erase one of the numbers, even after the ten minute mark, now what happens after the technical foul is charged? Can either player play?

Who is this "we"?

Umm, I say twenty-two. Why wouldn't I?
