I'm a little confused by this. In the OP, the original throw-in was at the division line. Then, you have the official freezing, and not blowing the whistle until the ball is at the division line. Maybe it's too much, umm, cat nip.

So, assume you meant that the original throw-in was at the end-line, and the official didn't blow the whistle until the ball was over the division line. The throw-in hadn't ended, so the POI is still the throw-in.

Now that I go back and read it, you're right. Our kids actually grow catnip for our cat, so I should be a little more careful what I sprinkle on my salad.

That's what I get for trying to be a smart-a$$. I should just leave that for the professionals on the forum.

Finally! Now it's officially the holiday season!

:D

Yup, the gift of a nice, juicy one right over the plate and the official greeting. Catnip, eggnog, and my mom's stuffing with waterchestnuts. And all my little chicks in the nest on the 25th. Looking like a great uh, holiday.
