HS game, 1967, we wore high socks, with our school colors at the top. I was at the free throw line to shoot 2, and after the Trail handed me the ball, I noticed that one of my socks had fallen down . So, I handed him the ball, and raised my sock. He then gave me the ball, and as I was about to shoot, he whistled me for the 10-second violation. I asked him why, and he then told me what the rule was . . . I did make the second shot . . .

How quaint? Mid twentieth century mechanics.

Do you remember those days, Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.?

That was the mechanic in the 90s. I did that the first 3 or 4 years of my career.

Did he know the part of the rule about you relinquishing player control of the ball to an official during your FT attempt?
