Hi, been waiting for you to answer this one, being one of the only FIBA guys on this board. Still not getting it. How can you suppose a player is in the air while lying on the floor? How can a player fall down without changing their pivot foot to a pivot butt/knee/side? Is this one of those things that just is?
