Yeah but didn't they also play 6 on 6 back then, too? :D

BTW, mick's not as old as Dino is. But he damn sure looks it! Whew!! :)

Yup,the girls played 6 on 6 when I first started.Just a wonderful set of rules.Only 2 dribbles allowed-3rd dribble was a violation.Three defenders who couldn't go into the front 1/3 of the court and never shot,and 3 offensive players who couldn't go into the back 1/3 of the court for defense.I think Iowa or Montana or somewhere played 6 on 6 in the girls game until a coupla years ago.If I remember right,most everyone else changed in the very early 60's.
So endeth to-night's useless history lesson.:D

When I was a kid we walked five miles in the snow to school each way and it was up hill both ways.

Once while walking to school, my dad killed a bear with his book bag. And of course,the book bag had been handed down through 7 brothers and sisters! It was tough in the good old days! :D

Or so I've heard.

Thats funny,Mark!You have a personality transplant?:D

A guy sits U.P. here trying to mind his own business....

JR: Yeah, we've got balls U.P. here.
zebra44: Thanks for covering by back.
BktBallRef: If they don't find ya handsome, they should at least find ya handy.

That explains a lot of things to me.

Once while taking the subway to school I warded off a
mugger with my bookbag. (The mayor's office wants me to
say that was way-back-when, today's NYC is safer than
Disneyland. Can I go now officer?)

Sparky,
I understand the interest in Martial Arts.
I wasn't the philosphy. It was the action.

C'mon mick, be honest. You found that roll of duct tape on the dash of your truck, under the old styrofoam coffee cups, next to the Black & Decker cordless drill. :D

JR, thank you for the nice comment in that other discussion board concerning "offensive" fouls. I would email you but you won't let anybody email you.
