So, Jurassic, were there similar problems from your playing days when they switched from peach baskets to the fan-shaped backboard?
Nope, we had big problems before we had actual backboards though. We had to poke the ball back up after every basket. We had 10 seconds to poke and then another 5 seconds for the throw-in.

Would I lie to you?
