Okay. Right. Would you agree, or not, that signaling "time" kills the play? Whatever is meant by that signal still results in a dead ball. IMO, the crew needed to eat this one instead of trying to put the youknowwhat back into the steer.

He DID kill the ball. there may be a difference of opinion regarding whether he did it on purpose or not, or was even aware he did it. But he's got 3 partners out there. I find the chances that NONE of them noticed his signal exceedingly small.

And apparently has a gun in his back. Another tell-tale sign of a Smitty -- throws his hands up over his head like he's being held up when calling "TIME" (or more than likely "DEAD BALL").

Thank you for the correction, although I fail to pay any attention to it at all!

Let's be friends, both of us just joined the gruppe recently!
