LONG FOUL CALL

On that particular type of play, I won't help, Mick. The shooter landed on his feet. If the defenders hadda put the shooter into the third row or onto his butt- hard, then maybe I might think about it. But not on a (also maybe) touch-foul from 70' feet away though. Jmo, but if you do that you're telling the world that the rook don't know what he's doing.

JR,
The [little] contact caused the shooter to twist in the air.
Looked like it coulda been enough, even from 70' away.

A1 must really have some wheels to go 70+ feet to your 15.

BZ -- I think the rookie was new lead, O was new trail. O was 70 feet away from the call, rookie was close to it. O was questioning whether O should have called a foul from 70 feet, when it was clearly rookie's call, and O has a hard and fast rule not to do what he now wishes he could do.

Maybe he didn't want to leave the other 7 players behind him?

[/B][/QUOTE]From 70' away though, how can you tell who caused the contact that made the shooter twist-- the shooter or one of the defenders?

If you can, you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din.

Just to be clear...70' away is below the OTHER free throw line.

Maybe he had to check his email to see if a donut was available??

Quick steal near division line.

"A1 makes a steal & has the entire court to go in for a layup."

Hmmmm?

Court is 84 feet, old lead covered less than 15 feet between steal and contact.

Perhaps if varsity vet was running that 70' foot long call becomes a 50 foot long call with the ability to cut that down to 30 feet while closing with a sell.

Well, ...I can see part of a povaticia on my kitchen table 20' away.

JR and Dan.
Old lead was concentrating on post play as A1 took the ball on the dead run near the division line.
New trail whipped up the side, saw the contact.
Why can't you guys see that? Yer 600-1,000 miles closer than I am!
Geez!

Not me Mick.

If I'm L when B1 steals the ball & heads down court I'm gonna hang back with the other players hanging back.

Let the new L hauls @ss down court to make his call, that's what he's getting paid to do. And his call aint none of my business.

I'm getting paid to make sure A5 doesn't cold-cock B5 in the backcourt. Or at least witness it.

Geeze Mick, *I* coulda got there.

If Chuck was transitioning to new L he would have beat everyone down court.

If he was new T he would have hung back with the rest of the players to make sure they played fair. And let the new L do his job.
