I can confidently claim that (my son) is verbal, even though he doesn't speak.

rainmaker,
Not that this all actually pertains to basketball, but since I work with deaf youngsters K-12 who rely on sign language, thought I'd throw out my support that sign language is, indeed, verbal--it just isn't "spoken." Good distinction. Now, back to basketball . . .
