Shank!!!

[rainmaker]

After all these years, I've developed a pretty dependable toss. I used it comfortably this last couple weeks in a variety of games from 8th grade girls to college-bound boys. Except for once on Saturday.

My usual routine is to point to each basket and announce the color heading that direction, then toot the whistle and spit it out, take one step in, bounce the ball once, and uuup it goes. As I said, it's very dependable, and I always do it the same. But Saturday afternoon, I must have stepped a little too far, becuase my bounce hit the toe of my shoe and the ball shanked off oob. How incredibly humiliating!
