Zuckerkorn Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I was thinking about some of the various rule changes/differences I've observed over the years. Back in the ABA they had some unique ones like giving a player 3 shots to make 2 (3 for 2) or 2 shots to make one (2 for 1) when in the bonus. They also had a force out rule without calling a foul. Sometime, in some league they also had a rule where if a player exceeded the number of fouls (fouled out), he could re-enter the game but any time he fouled the other team got the shots, a technical shot and/or possession. Finally, back in the day the Iowa H.S. girls game was played with 3 offensive players and 3 defensive players on the court for each team - the players never crossed mid-court. That was kind of a neat way of playing, but they eventually scrapped it and went with the conventional 5 on 5, full court game. Any other strange rules or modifications anyone remembers from pro, college, or HS basketball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other strange rules or modifications anyone remembers from pro, college, or HS basketball? my mother played point guard in college, way back when (Smith College), and told me about how she couldn't cross mid-court. Pretty funny rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 One thing I'll throw out there with regards to the ref hitting a minor... they may be 16 or 17 but they have the body of full-grown men who are in great shape. IF charges were to be filled, everyone involved would probably be tried as an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run away? It's not like these were 5 year olds trying to fight them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not condoning the behavior, but this isn't self defense: Once he got up and started pushing his way to get past other players so he could swing at the minor, he is subject to charges, for taking swings at a minor. Yeah he was knocked to the floor, yeah the "kid" is big, but no, as a ref you don't get to go pushing your way through people to swing at a minor.

That move always cracks me up..."I'm shirtless...now I can kick your @ss!" That move is probably where the phrase "keep your shirt on" came from.

btownqb Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I REAAAALLLLLY hope the accusations made against LeSean McCoy aren't true. And if they are.. he should do jail time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say, I was shocked when ppl were astonished by what a video (Ray Rice) would look like when an NFL Pro Bowl RB would hit a woman. (Please understand I am not trying to make light of the situation and domestic abuse is awful) but... like what did ppl think it was going to look like? You know? This guy probably squats 650... dudes a walking muscle hitting a 130lbs woman, of course it's going to look gruesome. Really hope my tone is conveyed correctly in this post.

FKIM01 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Based on his response (haven't seen her in months), his statement should be pretty easy to prove or disprove. I hope for his sake, it's the latter, but it sure looks bad at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my best friends coaches at Springs Valley and he says it's easily the most "open" class. Should also help with Hughes out at BR now.

Without going into details it was my first introduction of what is being reported and what actually happened are sometimes two very different things. Sometimes the best lessons taught at school or wherever aren't in the classroom. Sherron made mistakes but his mistakes were reported not just locally but nationally because of who he played for and where he played at. Doesn't excuse the behavior at all but I know he learned a great deal from his mistakes very early in life. Cost him a chance at pro career too. Just glad he's in the gym.

Yeah, I won't go into details either. Other than taking his Indiana Mr. Basketball award away from him was a travesty, as far as I am concerned. The rest, after that, needs not to be rehashed. Just glad that he is doing fine. And others are not letting what happened to him in the past, stand in the way of a job right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
