W&S...that's sound advice right there....if I haven't covered that with my P before hand, you bet your butt that's what I'm saying when we meet up on the court to sort it out....If it's mine, I'm taking it, if his/her, they get it...

Oh, and in reference to your sig....SHAKE AND BAKE! :D

Yup, I agree with everyone. We were sloppy. I was with my normal crew and we didn't discuss it in pregame, we were talking about other things. BTW, in reference to both of the last posts, I like to picture Jesus in one of those tuxedo t-shirts cause it says I'm formal, but I'm here to party. 'Cause I like to party.

I have no problems with double whistles, withholding preliminary signals, eye contact with partner, etc. If I ever run into a "Blarge", it will be because one of us doesn't hear the other one's whistle. Hasn't happened in 27 years, but, it could happen tomorrow night, and I'm always dreading how I'm going to deal with it.
