Wrong team awarded AP throw-in

Even so, I'm not sure that I would reset the clock.

If two wrongs make a right, do three wrongs make everything perfectly right?

What's the "wrong" limit? Four wrongs?

All of this could be avoided if they'd just get rid of the arrow and go back to jump balls.

All of this could be avoided with a good pregame.

Blue font? Are you yanking my chain? Well consider it yanked.

I hate jump balls.

Too many rules for a once per game situation. Jumpers. Nonjumpers. On the circle. Off the circle. Before the toss. After the toss. Before the touch. After the touch.

Yada. Yada. Yada.

Back in ancient times, when there were almost a dozen jump balls in a game, at three different jump ball circles, players, coaches, and officials all knew the jump ball rules like the backs of their hands.

Now jump balls are like the Wild Wild West. Everything and anything goes. Toss the ball, pray that things go well, and pray that nobody notices if things don't go well.

Just give the damn ball to the visitors and use the alternating possession arrow for the rest of the game, including overtime, as God intended when he created the alternating possession arrow on the eighth day.

Forget about Dr. Naismith and nostalgia. It’s the freaking twenty-first century.

We did away with the chicken wire around the court, let's also 86 the jump ball.

I’d better get off my soapbox, I’m getting dizzy up here.
