When We're Out Together Dancing Cheek To Cheek ...

Girls varsity scrimmage this morning. A1 has a frontcourt throwin from under her own basket (the one that Team A is shooting into). They use the play that we've all seen before (mostly in girls games, for some odd reason) where A2, A3, A4, and A5 line up across the free throw line and three players set up a screen for A5 to get open at the top of the key for a wide open three pointer. A1 makes the throwin as a lob pass back to where A5 is supposed to be, except A5 has tripped over one of her teammate's feet, and is already falling back, and down, as the pass is on the way. A5 catches the ball while sitting down, and sliding backward, on the floor, and continues to slide about two, or three, feet before passing the ball to a teammate. I'm the trail, this happens right in front of me, and I've got nothing.

Guess what the parents in the stands wanted?
