So again, what you want FROM US?

Do you think we write the rules or something?

Aren't you an official? What are you going to do about fixing this?

I never asked you to do anything....this is an officiating forum where I thought we could discuss things like this and seek out opinions from other officials and have some discussions.....

quite honestly I am surprised by the "thats just the way it is, it all comes out in the wash, make your free throws" points of view.....

I would have thought there would have been more "you know it doesn't make a lot of sense" views in here.....but I guess I was wrong

I just think it should stop at two shots and the ball.....and leave it at that....take the "ball at halfcourt" part out....

and to answer your last question, I have submitted this question to our local state rules interpreter and asked that it be passed on to NFHS and also to Peter Webb and the powers that be at IAABO as it appears according to the NFHS website that is how we are supposed to inquire....

Eh, they can be unhappy all they want. They had a chance at 2 free points, after all.

Look, we do not care who won. We are not here to complain about what the rules should be for the most part. That is the rule. That is the way the rule has been for years and just because the rule is done different is not our concern.

OK, it doesn't make much sense to me.

But, why should I care either way? I choose not to muddle up my brain with "what I wish a rule would be" so that I can concentrate on what it actually is and administer it properly.

And since I bounce back-and-forth from college to HS games throughout the season, it's more important for me to know the rules than question them.

You asked a question, you got an answer, now you are still complaining. You must have been a coach at one time, because that what happens when coaches ask me about a rule they don't like.
