Guilty ...

Guilty as charged. I'll get my head into the entire casebook as I prepare for next season's refresher exam. Pinky swear.

Twenty Thousand Posts Under The Sea ...

I didn't realize that I had reached 20,000 posts.

No celebration? No cards? No gifts?

Is there a level above Esteemed Forum Member?

Awe ...

I'm probably the lowest pay grade regular poster on the Forum. I'm often in awe of the rules expertise that is consistently presented on this forum.

And I'm definitely the most prolific poster.

Piling On ...

Go ahead. Keep piling on. I deserve it.

And I do consider Nevadaref above my pay grade, too early to tell for Mike Goodwin, but he probably is.

It took a few days, but Nevadaref and Mike Goodwin came through when they were needed.

Yeah. I know. Too bad. Wouldn't it be nice if somebody from the NFHS was a Forum member?

Knew it, but wanted it confirmed with some type of citation (thanks Mike Goodwin).

Relevant Case Plays ...

Unclear? Yes. Strong label, but I''ll wear it. But, at least, I was somewhat aware.

And there may be some non-official Forum "viewers" who were not familiar with the rule.

The NFHS must have thought it important because they listed it as a correctable error, and followed it up with a casebook play for good measure.



Never, just curious about a reason for a...

Wrong Baskets ...

Wrong baskets in general, and complications that are sometimes associated with them.

These (not free throws) sometimes confuse some non-officials. I've had middle school coaches and recreation...

Are Forum members with less than fifty posts allowed to be sarcastic?

Maybe someone who travels to games in puddle jumpers has paid his "dues" and is allowed to be what he wants to be?

4-5 Nobody Gets Cheated By An Official's Mistake ...

I never seriously thought that, but wondered why it was so important that this be a correctable error since nobody got "cheated" by an official's "mistake".

I would still like to see free throws at the wrong basket deleted from the correctable error list, and use 4-5 to take care of such situations.
