I didn't initiate the argument. I refused to go along with a widely held idea which makes no sense. And now I have support for my position from people who matter. Find somebody who matters to publicly support your position and then we can discuss it further.

Again, no one in my entire career has even questioned this situation on any level. So it must make sense to a lot of people. NO ONE!!!! I repeat NO ONE but you made this argument. Even those that disagreed with the interpretation never suggested what you did. NO ONE!!!!

And I do not need validation because if anything the people that matter have wondered why officials did not own up to their signal and give a double foul. NO ONE but you has ever tried to apply this any other way. And since you are not anyone in my immediate world, I am not going by what you say or what your email states. I cannot go with "some guy on the official's site thinks we should do something contrary than the casebook." I do not know about you, but I like working.

Peace

And what people would that be? I have quotes from my people. Let's see some from your people.

The Administrator of basketball in my state. The Head Clinician and Rules Interpreter of our state. If they come out and say different, then I will do what they request. Until that time, it is just noise in the background.

Oh, I am not asking for quotes from anyone. No one around here is questioning the casebook that is already written. And once again, you do not live in our state and we are not having this debate ANYWHERE!!!!

Peace

"People who matter" to you. Let's be clear.

The editor of the NFHS books doesn't matter to you?

Not to me. And certainly not to me when she ignores what is in their literature. If she changes it, then then I will worry about what she has to say.

Jeff answered this pretty well:

The NFHS editor's opinion only matters of you ask the right question. I don't believe they answered the question you think you asked.

I adhere to the position all of my college supervisors and my state HS clinician have made clear every year. So I'm good.

Which means you initiate the argument. It's only debated when you bring up your disagreement with the "widely held idea".

So now we're arguing about what an argument is. Okay, I give you this one. If it's suffer in silence or initiate an argument, I'll initiate one every time. I encourage others to do the same.
