WRONG again, Coach.

If the system makes a travesty of the game, then it is indeed illegal.

No one here or on the other site has said it is illegal. But it does exploit the numbering exception. You can use all the pretty words you like, get your panties in a bunch, or whatever, but that is a true statement.

I don't see it lasting. Enjoy it while it does.

Dear BktballRef:

Indeed you are not correct in your lastest post.

If upon review prior to the 2007 season the NFHS and/or the CIF in any way thought the A-11 offense was legal per the written rule, but it actually "exploited" the numbering rule, or in any way violated the spirit of the rule, and/or made a travesty of the game ----------- then the A-11 would have never made it through the review/approval process and it would have not been allowed to go forward.

That point was carefully explained to me by the powers-that-be and was a key point during the entire approval process.

Take care.

Coach, get a clue. You answered yes to the question below.

Not possible. It can't be legal and be a travesty of the game. Your words above, not mine.

I didn't say it was illegal or a travesty. I simply pointed out the error in your reply.
