How would you handle a player with Tourrette's Syndrome?

I would think the coach would want to show a letter from a doctor before every game.

As a parent (and a stickler for sporting rules, in general), I would rather see a closely called game.

If my child was playing, and the refs let the game get rough, I would be none too happy if...

Yep, that's the gist of it...although the intent of my post was to convey my opinion that the game was more interesting because I was trying to focus on what the ref's were doing.

I attended an away game last night, and I tried to pay special attention to the ref's work (amazing how much more interesting the game is when viewed from this perspective).

You do bring up an interesting point, though.

Clarification: I don't cuss at high-school games (at least not where anyone can hear me)...Razorbacks games are a different story.

scyguy,

Seems to me that you are taking the "banter" a bit too seriously.

Are you too sensitive? Maybe.

Is there anything wrong with that? Not necessarily.

Will others exploit your...

Dan,

It's not your fault you have a tiny little brain; everybody has shortcomings. :)

Dan-ref,

My comment regarding somebody getting hurt was a supplement to my contention that the official's job is not to keep the game interesting.

It occurs to me that when games are called...

CMc,

I understand what you are saying.

I guess it boils down to the question of what the official's responsibility is.

In your scenario, I believe the foul for the slap would be the right...

4 hours? Initially, probably so.

But I would think that once the teams begin to learn the rules (which they should already know), the quality of play would improve.

I think you should have called it if the coach broke the rule (BTW, I am not an official).

I agree (I think). If B1 had LGP against A1 and there was no foul, the only logical conclusion is that A1 left the court of his own volition to get around B1 (assuming B1 had LGP), thus breaching...

Thanks for the welcome, JR.

I agree B1 should have been called for the foul.

The tricky part here is "of his own volition".

Is A1 legally out of bounds as a result of contact with B1?

From a fan's perspective, first let me say that I am not at all envious of your job. :)

With that said, I would rather see the right call, even it goes against the team I'm cheering for.
