Gaining control with your feet

[Splute]

This is, btw, one of the reasons NCAA-W went away from putting the ball down at the spot of a throw-in during a TO - officials were doing things like this to pick up the ball, rather than just bending down and picking it up with their hands. The committee felt flicking the ball up with the foot didn't look "professional".[/quote]
I wonder how many of them busted their bums tripping on the ball while attempting this manuver?
