I have Red Green Color Blindness, so I don't understand this "seasonal" reference. Along those same lines, I can't wait until the inauguration to see what our new president, Mr. O'Bama, looks like. I'm sure that he looks like any fine, Irish, lad, with freckles, and red hair. I finally voted for a winner. I'm a bigot, and I only vote for Irish candidates.
Good reply to my post. Let's look at another option. Blow the whistle for the illegal contact. You, or your partner, look up at the scoreboard to see 0:00:5, which keeps running down until the horn sounds. Reset the clock to 0:00:05, report the personal foul, and let A2 shoot free throws, with rebounders on the lane lines, if Team A is in the bonus. Obviously, the half has not ended yet, you still have 0:00:5 to play. And in a similar situation, if there had been only 0:00:3 on the clock, then players would not have time to take a shot (try), but would only have time to tap the ball after you chop in the time.
