Follow-up
The no-rebound deal ends up being our local rule, but we shoot standard FT distance, and can't cross.
Conversely, the league hosting the tournament has a No-Zone Rule(must stay within 6 ft of...

My daughter's team is at their first out of town tourney, and in the first quarter, one of our girls put...

Bravo
Mark,
As a dad, the officials I admire the most are the ones that do interact with the players. My daughter is in 5th grade AAU, and I like the officials that understand this is a game, and look...

Double Dribble or Odd Call?
