Bob Denver is
not dead (he just turned 69 years old last month, if you can believe that), but some of the other castaways are. Jim Backus (Mr. Howell) is dead (1989). Alan Hale (the Skipper) is dead (1990). Natalie Schafer (Mrs. Howell) is dead (1991). Tina Louise just turned 70 last Wednesday. Russell Johnson (the Professor) will be
80 in November, if you can believe that. And the last time I saw Dawn Wells (Mary Ann), who is 65 years old, she looked
great.
Now, back to the game.
Since B1's hack (or "smuck") on A1 wouldn't render the play completely over in a normal situation (with no player control foul) until you know if the ball went in or not, I can't see (logically, anyway) why a player control foul while the ball is still in the air wouldn't be a realistic call (and apparently the Powers That Be concur).
The whole thing sounds logical to me. Of course, A1's coach is probably going to go nuts, but all of us in this thread now have ammunition at least. Gotta "sell" the call, I was taught. As long as you sound like you have it down cold, they're more likely to believe you have it down cold.
See, this is why I like this place.
