So, it looks like your memory isn't too bad, yet.
Perhaps, next time the wife has other ideas, pick up your books from the night stand, and see what her reaction is...  (Ok, that might be considered cruel and unusual.) |
I believe even players "on the circle" may move OFF the circle when the ball is released. They just can't "change position around the circle" as the rule states. For example, a player on the circle can break backward off the circle toward the basket.
Telling the players to "hold your positions" is not advisable as it is coaching the players in a sense. Sort of like saying "move those hands up more vertical". Just bad form by an official IMO.
