My rulebook, casebook, and mechanics manual, are often a few rooms away from my computer, in my bedroom closet, in my official's bag. During the season, the books are usually in my bag, in the back seat of my car, downstairs in the garage.

I have a PDF rulebook, and casebook, on my computer hard drive, but they're from 2011-12, and are becoming dated. I think that they are actually giving off a odd, musty, smell inside my computer.

Over thirty-plus years, it's the rule changes that became more confusing. I was actually less confused back when I was a rookie official. Let's see? One free throw for a technical foul? That doesn't sound right? Double foul? I know that's it's no longer a jump ball. Arrow, or point of interruption? How much time to replace a disqualified player? Twenty seconds? Are you sure it's not thirty seconds?

Hey BryanV21: I note that you're from Columbus, Ohio. The next time that Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. decides to give us all a history lesson going back to Dr. James Naismith, Emilia Earhart, and William Howard Taft, would you please take a short drive up Route 30 to Toledo and give him a slap in the head from me.

Just to make sure... I didn't intend that post for anyone in particular.

And if you pay for gas. I'm there.
