I get what you are saying but we over analyzed this to point where the patient isnt breathing anymore and should be ruled clinically dead.


he said A1 passed the ball when he was already on count 3. I just dont see how the ball can be in flight after the 3 count on the way to 4 count, caught and released by a 6th grade boy in less than the 2 seconds left unless they are standing within 10 feet of one another and A2 taps the ball in the air back to A1 and doesnt actually catch it.

I am of the opinion that count 4 passes with the ball in flight, and count 5 is on the catch OOB by A2 and A2 never gets to make an inbounds pass attempt because 5 seconds is up before A2 releases the ball

but anyway, I am moving on from it because we dont have any hairs left to split
