With much due respect I'm not trying to decide if or how this is important so I can decide myself if I'm going to enforce a rule or not. I'm just trying to better understand the intent of the rule so I can better enforce it. I was kind of thinking out loud n my post. It seems it would be confusing to the defense. And that's why it's in there. I agree it's a no brainer. It wasn't last night but now it is. But I was just exposed to something new that I hadn't faced before and thanks to him and you guys I understand it better.

What, not ALL due respect? Are you saying that people here deserve more respect, and you refuse to give it?

A man in motion is an advantage to the offense. To limit that advantage, the rules restrict motion to one player. Combine this principle with the rule about coming set, and voilą you have the current rule that aims at fairness to both offense and defense.

Good point on the respect thing. I don't know what I was thinking. But that's not unusual. And with all due respect thanks for the explanation.
