....which is what they did in the first place. I was the one who asked why not make it an intentional. Okay, one of my upcoming articles says, "Keep learning, never stop asking." I'll apply that here.

Juulie,
I should have put a :) somewhere on my earlier response. I wasn't trying to be snippy at all. I was only trying to give you some helpful facts.
To answer your question above, it doesn't matter IN A GAME, but if you are TAKING AN NFHS RULES TEST you may need to know the precise terminology. Whether you care about a few extra points on the test or not depends on your location, as in some states your test score is part of your overall evaluation.
Good luck with that article. The topic is a great start!

The throw-in for a dead-ball contact foul is also at midcourt in NCAA. Any technical for dead-ball contact is considered an intentional T in men's NCAA.

Question. How were you 'lead' while admin. a throw in from old 28' mark? Wouldn't you be classified as 'trail' out there? Just asking. Don't won't to create any confusion--then again, maybe I'm the one confused :)

davidw,
Perhaps Kelvin was working with one of us old guys, and they pre-gamed that Kelvin needed the work, so he had to be Lead at both ends.

gotta put that one in my bag and use it, may extend my career ;)

Actually, that just reminded me of a summer AAU tournament a worked quite a few years ago where we would work like 10 games in one day--with all the 'rec-leauge'/'off-season' mechanics (or whatever you label it where you're from--you know what I'm refering to). Anyway, my partner that afternoon volunteered to run from baseline to baseline and let me stay at midcourt the whole game. He wanted the execise he said. I said thank you, but I'd better run too. Was kinds funny at the time.

In my second collage game we had two teams that both played hard, we have a shot go in under the basket (about two mins in the game) and the player that hit the shot turned and hit a player with an elbow , i see it and i stick him for it ,,,,,, the coach see it and asked why the T, I just told he that if i just gave him a foul the other player goes down and does the same thing and then we have a fight, so i niped it in the butt right then

Not a word... not a blessed word...

Haven't you ever been niped in the butt? :eek:

You <b>knew</b> that I couldn't leave that one alone. :D

Juulie - so, I, it, in and the are all words :)

Hey, as they say, this butts for you! :)

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Anytime, Juulie. I came in second in the state scrabble tournament. (Some girl beat me out).

After being away from the court for 14 months, my assignors decided that I should work full court. So on the play I was actually trail, but as soon as I bounced the ball I ran for C then to L. Its called the one-body ( no sexist conotations here) rotation.

You should try it. It is amazing what you see when you are running full speed to the baseline in a half court game.

The best part of it is that you never stop moving, so you never miss a call.


The key to remember is that it takes 925 rotten basketball games with extreme howler monkeys to equate to one day in Abu Gharib.

Yea, I'll take the howler monkeys any day.

Aaah! Now I understand! See, I knew I was just confused--perfectly clear now.
