It left me thinking about unique rules, customs or oddities in different areas. I thought of a couple:
* Years ago in talking with a scout who watched Detroit Public School League players he said all outside shooters from the PSL had flat shots. I asked why, he said (at that time) many Detroit High School gyms all had running tracks suspended over the court, so if they dribbled down into the corner their shots would hit the track if they put a high arc on it. Not sure if that was an urban legend, but that is what they guy told me.

I believe it.
In addition, I think the flattening of shots, and the trend toward shooting harder with stronger rotation, is the result of outdoor ball. I mean, you can't adjust the shot for windage, so you power through the wind and give the ball a strong gyroscopic center . . .

Wow. Whatever. Way too scientific for me. How about this one--Green Bay area tournament. Instead of a timed OT, the first team to score 3 points in OT wins.

"Wow. Whatever. Way too scientific for me."
At least you know what gratuitous means.
