Took two tries to answer a question...

But in my defense, I thought the coach was asking about something else.

Had a varsity game Saturday...I am C, opposite table. A1 trips over her own foot. B1 grabs the loose ball and immediately attempts an outlet pass that hits B2 in the back of the foot so that the ball goes directly to A1 who is now sitting on the court. The ball "rattles around" between the feet of A1 before she grabs it and flips it to A2 for an easy lay-up. Coach for team B starts yelling for a kicked ball. A couple of trips down the floor later I am standing near him as L watching because of a full court press and he asks "How was that not a kicked ball?" I just respond that it has to be intentional and move as the press is broken. He starts in about how she (A1) was controlling the ball with her feet. OK...now I get the confusion.

Fortunately I call a foul and after reporting it he walks over toward me. I quickly say "Coach, from my angle she did not have control of the ball with her feet because I saw it moving." He stopped in his tracks and said "Good enough."

Moral of the story...be careful with your answers because you may not be answering the question they are asking.
