Let's do the math.....
It's 50 feet across the court plus another few feet from the bench.
From where the coach was sitting, it would be about 54 feet down the court at the other end.
Sooooo....54 feet down and 50 feet across...square the hypotenuse...round off....deduct 2 ....add 6 inches for the Ron Jeremy(tm) effect.....and it comes out to occurring one helluva long way away from the coach.
Yup, the FAR bench had a great look at the steal.
You really do think like a coach, don't you?  |
JR,
Did not say the "head coach", I said the bench -- which was much closer to the play than 54 feet -- more like 25 feet. Appeared to have a better angle than the official on this play.
Probably a little.
