I think it's tangential. He started comparing his scenario to a jumper at the beginning of the game catching the tip-off. But it's not a good comparison because B1 caused the ball to go into the backcourt, not A3. The part I don't get is why A3 is a baskethanging fool and what that has to do with the price of tea in China.
Juulie, or for that matter with the price of birdseed on the Canary islands, as a good friend of mine once said......Tangential, now there's a word you can put in your Funk and Wagnell.
