re: Can We Stop Saying that High School Guys Run a 4.3 40?

Why? Everybody knows (as evidently you do) that hand held timing is always faster than actual. But what it does is show who are the fastest players. Players who run a hand held 4.3 are faster than a player with a hand held 4.4 who is faster than a player with a hand held 4.5 and so on. Don't be so fastidious and all knowing.

From comparing hand held to laser or electric time you can generally add about .12 to .15 to the hand held. The results would be about 4.42 - 4.45 which is pretty f;ing fast if you field you must know exactly.
