mick, I'll be glad to give you an example if you think intent is the issue but I truly don't see how intent has anything to do with it.
A1 drives. A2 is on the bottom box. He leaps in the lane while facing the basket. He's fouled. He returns to the floor without passing or shooting the ball. What was his intent? Shoot? Pass? 2 shots or throw-in?
We make judgments from the time we walk on the floor until the time we leave. In this case, I'm not judging what he intended to do. I'm judging what he did. In JAR's original play, I have to make a judgment (Not really because JAR told me he was dribbling). Was he dribbling or was he shooting? Honestly, I can't believe that you and Woody truly believe that the officials on this board can't judge the difference in a dribble and a pass.
Man, it was a beautiful night for football in the Old North State. Wish it was this gorgeous every Friday night. You shoulda been here.
JAR, why do you have PMs turned off?
