L o n g Game!

[Adam]

JVB last night, we held the varsity game up with an overtime. Home team was down by one with time running out in regulation. My partner calls a foul with .5 seconds left, putting the shooter on the line where he proceeded to shoot 50%.

Did you tell your partner the overtime was "his fault"?

He knew. During the timeout preceeding the first free throw, he said he sure hoped the shooter made both shots; or none.

During the timeout preceeding the 2nd free throw, he reiterated his hope that the shooter made both.

No such luck.

Haven't you heard of lane violations?

We'd already reached our max of those for the game.

One on red when two players decided, just as I was bouncing the ball to the white shooter, to switch places. It actually cost white, though, as they got the rebound about 2 feet from the hoop. Player made the 2nd shot.

One on white when, after his coach was done talking to him, he came running in and crossed the 3 pt. line after the shooter had the ball. FT shooter missed his 2nd opportunity.

I call em the 50/50 games...50 fouls, 50 turnovers...not fun!

Why do so many people think overtime is bad? I love overtime games.

Snaqs:

Not apparent from your description but was the ball at the disposal of the shooter before or after red players were moving about?

Sorry.
As the shooter caught the ball, the two defenders were just leaving their initial spaces to play musical chairs.
