You mean like relabeling time-outs as an "extended stoppage of play"?

Who would do that?

I'm probably missing the point of your post ... I wouldn't relabel anything.

I'm just saying that it was clear to me if you read the whole post that
1) The OP was confused with the use of "own goal" in NFHS (and other) rules
2) The OP was asking about a situations involving shooting at the wrong goal

Two points from beyond the arch

1) Since this was posted in a basketball forum and not a language arts forum it seems odd that so much of this discussion has centered on how the OP was written rather than answering the questions intended by the OP, which if not "crystal" clear was at least "reasonably" clear enough based on simple context clues for us to have a basketball discussion.

2) If it really bothered some posters that much, why hasn't someone edited it for Afrosheen so that it would be 100% clear what was being asked and we could focus on basketball. I see posts all the time that say "there, I edited it for you" so maybe someone could do that.

Agree 100%, and good idea.
