Help me understand...did you do this b/c the coach was complaining about the no call? Why wouldn't you wait for a dead ball??

"I blow the ball dead (stopped a would-be layup for his team, mind you) and inform the coach that the rule gives only the three foot parameter."

Thanks

The reason he blew it dead is to proove a point to the coach, correct his rule interp, and to make it hurt.

Actual game quotes on a couple of new rules I learned about this week:

1. "Taller more athletic players, cannot enter the space over a shorter non-athletic players to get a rebound."
2. "A screener cannot move irrelevant if there is contact."
