The "Carry" are we all calling it the same?

[Peter Devana]

I don't know how we got on to this 3 sec discussion.
Are we all afraid to discuss the inconsistencies we all have with the "carry" I originally talked about? One person inferred that if we call it correctly we won't advance up the ladder. Is that true in your area? One person said it's a no brainer- Oh - Excuse me - if it's that easy why aren't we calling it consistently. I watched a varsity tournament last year where one very popular player violated the carry rule every time he wanted to go past his defence. I am talking about the" change of pace dribble" where the dribbler carrys the ball during a straight forward dribble(not a cross -over or a 360 turn) and beats the defence as a result of this illegal action.
I ended up selected to work the final of that tournament(the equivalent of a State AAA final) and called the player the first time he made the illegal dribble. Guess what ?- he didn't even attempt it for the rest of the game. Does that tell you something???
Don't be afraid to discuss this and forget 3 secs- it's not that important!!
