Ok - a couple thoughts from way out West (I think I live about 1 mile further west than Juulie)...
1)if a player "palms" the ball in the back-court with no defensive pressure, why would you even see it? If there's no pressure, why aren't you looking up the court to see where the defense is and what they are doing so you have an idea of what's coming. I can honestly say that I really don't even watch that guard that closely - just sort of out of the corner of the eye - until the defense comes out to meet him/her.

2)Every call is a decision - do we call it or not. Some decisions are simply no-brainers...others are ones that can be called "game interrupters". They have nothing to do with what's going on and serve no useful purpose...even the coaches get irritated when those types of things are called - both coaches, because they know if you call it on the opponent then you will eventually call it on them also.

3)Chuck, please, please, please - no more shower stories, ok. Kinda got that "broke-backie" feel to it, ya know!!
