I can't use this, though. I wouldn't know rythm if it hit me in the nose.

It used to be SBQ. Next year, some hotshot will come up with another word to add to it and another will do the same a year later. Eventually, we'll get to ABJJRBKKSQLKIYY.

Agree completely, Camron. And it will mean exactly the same as the original concept that was used 50 years ago--i.e. "A".

SBQR simply means that if anyone gets an advantage with his/her use of the hand, call the damn foul. And that ain't new.

I disagree. IMO, a hold is when you actually wrap your hand around an opponent and/or grab something. Like grabbing the jersey or grabbing the arm and pulling it down while shooting. What I'm referring too is the hand or palm open, they rest it on the players hip while moving themselves, with a slight amount of pressure, slows the quicker player down enough for them (the defender) to catch up. Again, it takes a trained eye to see this and even more important, to see the disadvantage. It's okay to put the hand on then take it off, that's one thing, but to put the hand on and slow the dribbler down right at the pivotal point of the move, then take the hand off, well the damage has been done, and that should be a foul.

Oh, you're talking about a push.

No, I think he means over-the-back. Or reaching in. Maybe the guy did both at the same time. Is that a false double foul or a multiple foul?
