It seems like I never have any luck. My assigner has never been real happy with me since his kid fouled out of a state championship game that I worked and lost a scholarship. Last week, he assigned...

My assigner is out to lunch. He assigns me a game 180 miles north of our usual territory. I get there 1/2 hour early - change - walk out of the locker room - and it's a Hockey Rink. Both coaches...

I stick by the "intentional" aspect and do not blow when a bad pass hits a totally unaware defender below the knee. Which you see pretty often.

I've noticed in the last 2 years that I'm seeing an NBA

I just ref Rec stuff but I enjoy it. Here's the scoop. Get a NFHS Rulebook - they have a Web Site. Traveling is Rule 4-42. It's not easy. There's a ton to it.

In short, if you catch the ball or...

I disagree. As I understand the case:

Jump ball between A1 and B1. A1 touches the ball and B1 catches it before it hits the floor, another player or the backboard. Clear violation on B1. Team A...

Interesting. I think that taking control of a game from the start is critically important. I try to establish a strict limit on "hand checking" and "3 seconds" early in the game. If I let it go...

Steve - In the Rulebook it explains that hands in the cyclinder for a dunk are OK and not BI. Forget where it's said. Check the definition of BI.

Walter,
That's a good case. It's a pass he's grabbing and not a shot so it can't be goal tending. It's technically basket intererence but it's a great play - do you penalize a great play? I'd say...

Odds are good that nobody else in the gym/state/country knows that an 80-foot pass is a 2. I think you might get murdered trying to call that a 2. Myself, I'd give the thrower, er, shooter a lot of...

I'm still confused a bit. I thought I understood the rule from my class but I might be wrong. A1 is in the paint for 2 seconds. He catches a pass, fakes, dribbles in the paint. He fakes again and...

I like Sprewell's game and court demeanor. And at 48, I only wish I had "enough" hair to do something wild with it! I think that attacking a coach is obviously a very serious event. However, I've...

In high schooh, 3 seconds is suspended for a player working his/or her for a shot. Although, almost nobody understands this part of the rule or that it doesn't apply during a try.

Wow! That was quite a call. The key point is that a try ends when it hits the floor. The definition of a three ponter says that it has to be a try. If I understand correctly, A1 and A2 are both...
