Talking Statue Of Liberty Play

I had a play in a recreational league, senior championship game....check this one out Chuck. Team A has possesion of the ball, in there front court. The score is at 88-88 with two seconds on the clock, in the fourth quarter. As A1 is about to inbounds the ball, his team mates line up alongside each other. A1 then yells out the work 'break' and 3 of his team mates just fall to the floor, as if to faint. Team B's defenders in shock just freeze and there attention is immediately taken to the 3 players that are now laid out on the floor. Then A1 passes the ball to A2 and he makes an uncontestant lay-up. The buzzer sounds and team A wins the championship game, in front of a packed house. Everyone could not believed what they have just witnessed.

now i might consider that a T worthy ploy -- the defense was deceived by thinking those 3 players were hurt or injured -- big difference from doing something idiotic like barking and doing something stupid like feigning death...jmo

FWIW, this month's (July's) RefMag has a case play on both the "barking dog" play (unsporting to to the PLAYER who barks) and the "blood on the jersey" rule (NO AMOUNT of blood is allowed).

I know RefMag is not always correct, but these plays were apparetnly vetted by Mary Struckhoff.

Bob - this is where Mr. All-Around Annoying Guy steps in and mentions the fact the original poster referenced the Ref Mag article; that's how this discussion got started.

No problem; anytime.
