Please without googling tell me what needs to occur for the ball to be established in front court. You have 2 minutes. Edit: if you know the answer you know the answer but anything longer than 2 minutes and I will assume you will have Googled it.
What the hell does Scalmas answer have anything to do with the BBIQ being different for coaches in high school vs the NBA? Great dodge on that one. Way to avoid the point.... I think you know I got respect for you, as we have discussed in the past, but I don't see how you can't see that point? With that ideology, then a grade school science teacher has the same knowledge as a college professor of science right?
Two feet and ball, I don't know I'm not a ref. But if it can be googled in two minutes I think it's safe to assume an NBA coach knows the rule. And you said 3 seconds and over the back. Those are easy.
Most don't know that you can go back if both feet have gone across but the ball hasn't. Yes NBA coaches included. Most also don't know you can stand in the key for 10.8 seconds (12.8 NCAA/HS) and it be completely legal.
You've had coaches try to tell you that you should have called a 3 second violation before the ball crossed half-court?
I don't think I can agree with a take that can be summed up as "NBA coaches are stupid." This convo is going nowhere. I don't even know what we're talking about anymore. I'll just leave it.
I never said they're stupid. I never said all complaining is whining. These are things you and OB are somehow garnering from this. What I said was is they don't know the rules and have to have them constantly explained to them. How many NBA coaches still believe you have to have set feet to take a charge? I wanted to throw something at my TV every time I heard Mike Rice say "he wasn't set". To take a charge you do not have to have set feet nor have you ever had to have set feet. You may be moving and take a charge.
Coaches does ask referee to watch something out on the floor seeing and maybe the refs are missing. Refereeing is about getting the right angles to call the game.
I pointed out how I came to my conclusion. I am simply stuck at why you cant understand that BBIQ is going to be different at different levels. You haven't responded once to that, and seem to keep avoiding the point. As long as you do, I can only discern that you think they are all the same, which brings me back to my same question A college professor of science is no more knowledgeable than a grade school teacher of science, right? Do you care to expand on the NBA level coaches you have had to educate vs the highschool? There is a very real distinction between the two you are curiously avoiding.
Those are your words. NBA coaches have a lot of other things to focus on. Again rules are constantly being misinterpreted and we interpreters do just that all game long. Interpret.
Put this way I have seen bad official and good officiall at all level it just going be like that in this game. Vice versa as coaches too. I have done both and yes I seen some coaches with no knowledge of the game. I also seen official and some how dont blow there whistle on anything. I have had coaches come out to referee with me at lower levels also and most of them tell its lot harder than it looks.
