Two "obscure" calls in the same game.

It took me awhile thinking about this also, but I believe he is referring to a free throw shot that wedges between the ring and the backboard. Sometimes some of our abbreviations are not as well known to everyone.

Yes, that is correct. Actually, I thought it was pretty obvious - guess not.

As I said, it was only the second time I've ever seen one on a free throw. The first time was two years ago during a holiday tournament. Believe it or not (and I swear this is true), in the game right after it happened, we had a free throw that bounced up and down on the back of the ring about 15 times and came to rest there! It was the first shot of a two shot foul so it was just a miss.

Personal note to Juulie (rainmaker) - I did that game with your buddy Dan Gresham at Lakeridge High School in Lake Oswego. He can tell you it really happened.
