Is the term "disconsortion"?
 

Is that the term in the rule book regarding defenders or bench yelling/clapping/talking to a FT shooter during his shot? Disconsort the FT shooter?

Had a kid yesterday begin walking from wing to top of key, clapping his hands as soon as the shooter got the ball....Shooter missed, I blew the whistle and issued a violation on him and that we would shoot again...2nd attempt went in!

Couldn't think of the term the rule book used...was just thinking about it today...

I probably have that word all jacked up...

Thanks in advance for the vocabulary lesson! :D

Henry VIII disconsorted - 5 times as a matter of fact.

Basketball players disconcert. Disconcertion is the term you're looking for.

Would dis-consort mean a queen's divorce? the breaking up of a troup of ships or a musical group? taking away someone's partner, or companion??

The word is disconcert. "to disturb the self-possession of. to perturb or ruffle."

LOL!! Coltdoggs if you haven't learned by now this is a tough audience!!! Keep on doing a good job and don't let them DISCONCERT you.....LOL

is the signal for this violation the same as a lane violation?

No. The proper signal is to put your right foot in, then take your right foot out, put your right foot in again, then you shake it all about. If it's their second occurrence, you also turn yourself around.

I make this call a lot.

My question was serious one!

For all of those who also signal a travel when moving on a throw in when you are not supposed to.

And the signal for disconsortion is to make a fist with your right hand, stick out your thumb (as in hitch-hiking) and quickly run that thumb going left to right across your throat.

Do you have a youtube video of Henry VIII making that signal? I'd like to know that it's official.

I believe Marie Antoinette initiated that signal.

Yes.

Juulie - I don't this this is Henry VIII, but this guy's name might be Henry something. Will that work?

I suppose it depends on who he's referring to. Is it aimed at his "consort"? Because otherwise, it's not disconsortion.

No, it was aimed at a "concert". Barry Manilow was playing. ;)

Hey, that does work! Except I really like his Chopin/pop combination song. Disconsort him after that one, okay!

Bary Manilow shoulda been disconsorted at birth.

Disconsortion? Don't catholics call that excommunication?

They actually called it thoutube back then. Since this took place in the PG (pre-google) era there is no known record. Sorry.

Along these lines it fairly well known that Henry had a brush with the law when it was discovered he had some under aged porn on his scrolls. He was able to get off by claiming he was doing scholarly research on the topic so the authorities looked the other way... after they spent a month in the tower to think it over.

And when Henry told Anne Boleyn that he wanted some head, she might have been smart to get a clarification too.:eek:

ROFLMAO!!!

Definitely the post of the week!

Really?

Just goes to show, there's no way to predict the road to success - best plan is to just keep throwing sh1t up there and hope somehow your efforts are rewarded.

Hey, I treat em like fans...I hear ya, but I am not listening.. :D

It's all good...

Well, I know that this will disconcert Mark, but the word comes from Latin (at least not from the French. :)):

concertatio -onis f.: contest , strife, dispute

In the XVII century "concertare" was a musical form where the instruments were disputing with each other. Now the verb "concertare" in Italian means exactly the opposite of its Latin ancestor, because it means "to get together in order to find an agreement", in music and politics. Besides the musical reason, it can be also because of the similar word

concentus -us m.: singing together, harmony; hence: agreement, unity, concord

Ciao

I am familiar with the "concertatio" (pronounced kon-cur-tay-tee-o) reference since I took two years of Latin in HS and two more years of it in college.

Don't ask me why. :o

Alas, like many Latin words, this one crept into English via French, in this case the obsolete French verb 'desconcerter'. Thank the Normans.

I had five years of Latin in HS after two years also in MS, so I easily beat you. :p

And, of course, we pronounced "concertatio" in a very different way: something like "con-cher-tah-tsee-o". Ecclesiastical pronunciation, they call it.

So it takes 5 years to graduate high school in the metric system?

Maybe he was red-shirted? (a metric red shirt is kinda maroonish purple btw)

You know that one meter is larger than one yard, one kilogram is more than one pound, one liter is more than one pint. So we need one year more in HS. :)

Canadians say that they use the metric system, but I believe they are cheating. :)

:eek: No, no: our HS takes five years. And, of course, we don't say red-shirted: the real name of the color would be too long to say. :)
