Oh man
Men's rec league. I'm designated to toss ball. I head toward circle when I see who's jumping. Both jumpers were 6 foot lots. I had to decide how high they could jump and how much more impetous than usual I needed to give the ball. (I'm 5'2")
And how to keep from getting hurt when they came down again on my head. Rita |

And I take it you were successful?

Slightly Off Topic Jammed Fingers
Earlier this week, on an out of bounds call on the baseline, with me as the lead, not realizing how close I was to the wall, I blew the whistle, made the stop clock signal, called out the color, and indicated the direction, jamming my fingers into the wall. My fingers hurt for the rest of the game, and when I got out of bed the next morning.

I try to throw it as high as the rim. Then you "man up" so you can take the hit when it happens.
![]() Seriously, I rarely ever get hit. Peace

From my experience the taller they are the easier and safer it is to toss.
The hardest toss is when there is a big difference in height of the jumpers. The most dangerous jump is when you have that mis-match and the shorter player winds up to get up there...the older guys do that too, so beware those over 40 leagues. I have been kicked before...which is why any one-hand tosser should keep the other one down south, Rita that's optional for the ladies. ![]() The worst I have been hit was in a mens league and this guy caught me about 3 inches below my elbow, right on the not-so-funny bone. I had a burning sensation in my middle finger through my pinkie on that hand for 2 days...of course all these guys did was shoot threes all night...try marking a 3 when you have a stinger. ![]() |
