put ball in play across the lane?

This has become one of the funniest threads I've read in a long time.

Since I gave up coaching middle school basketball ten years ago, I really don't know what's going on in the other five local boards, I never watch their officials work games, and I seldom have a chance to talk to officials from other parts of Connecticut.

How many times do you hear me say, "in my little corner of Wisconsin?"

You're missing my point.

Our local board has a very strict policy about remaining anonymous when posting, as an official, on any type of social media. Rather than making a big deal about being secretive, I always just say, "In my little ..." (it's actually quite little, 325 members, seventy schools, compared to entire state organizations, or metropolitan organizations, often referred by many Forum members), when referring to the way that we do certain things here on my local board, especially when I am pretty certain that many other officials around the country, and around the world, may do these certain things very differently (not right, or wrong, or better, or worse, just differently) than we do. If the moderators don't like it, they are free to delete it (not that they need my permission).
