I said nothing about the free throw try obviously going to miss.
Just a tall knucklehead teenager trying to impress his cheerleader girlfriend by "funneling" his teammate's free throw try into the basket.
It should be, as it's been for at least forty five years, offensive goaltending and a technical foul.
But has he NFHS produced an unintended consequence that has fallen through the cracks with its new rule?
We're going to have to wait and see until we get the NFHS Rulebook, NFHS Casebook, and the NFHS annual interpretations.
Note: Bill Russell is credited for causing the ban of offensive goaltending in basketball due to his dominance in college.
With his length and leaping ability, Russell could anticipate teammates’ missed shots and steer them into the basket.
