So another one of those block/charge calls

Thank you! I like to keep in mind that often Team B will try to steal the ball from Team A. They call it a turnover. :P

Yabut....is it also a dribble every time the defense touches the ball?

No, of course not. For this exact reason, we have a difference of opinion.

Silly goose, are you trying to put words into my mouth?

All of us clock girls can.

FWIW, I have a block on the video play.

JR, not sure why you keep pushing this issue. There are times when we do have to judge what the player is trying to do.

• player in the lane gets fouled. Is that player shooting, passing, or just holding onto the ball. We have to make a judgement about what they were attempting to do since we'll either be putting them on the line or not. Sometimes it is obvoius, sometimes it is not....we have to read thier mind.
• With a kick ball, was it intentional or not? We have to make a judgement about what the player was attempting to get it right. Sure, you might be able to see it at a kick even if it was not intentional but look a little like it could be, but still, you have to know the player's intent.

How often does a player slap at the ball unintentionally?

??? I'm just commenting on the assertion by Jurrassic about mind reading in general....not specifically a slap at the ball.

I know, I was adding to your list.

Um, Camron, that was my point if you go back and read my responses. See my post #27. See your post #25. Aren't we basically saying the exact same thing?

What am I missing?
