Why people argue about this
People often assume that anyone can be the shooter in Craps, but the official setup clearly states it's one person at a time, rotating clockwise after each roll. The confusion arises because they might see other players engaging with dice and think they're free to join as well, forgetting about this crucial rule of rotation.
