Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 4112580, member: 8636"] 100% I'd even say that the reason for having any rules at all is for one reason: fairness. A good bit of my teaching career was elementary. You gotta be fair first and foremost. And if a rule is unenforceable, you get rid of the rule. Gotta be clear! A hoop court or a playground at recess is not a court of law. (whew- thank God, we got enough of them) You're right, what do we do when everyone cheats or when the cheaters prosper. (BadBoys arguably) What did Lance Armstrong do about the rampant cheating in pro cycling? We know how that story went. I hope like heck that the charge is not "legislated" out of the game because the refs can't call it right and/or the flop takes over the game. BTW IMO you can't talk flop without talking charges. The flop is the evil cousin of the charge. There is a point on the continuum where they almost touch. Do you think the SC player actually ran into PB on the baseline, or did PB anticipate getting hit, and fall back prematurely? Call your witness....... [/QUOTE]
