Well, that's a low blow!:mad:

Quidnunc!:rolleyes:

Is that Latin for STFU?

Nope, just a plain ol' English descriptive word to describe persons such as yourself, Sirrah.

Look it up, CubbieBoy.

Nah, don't have time - I'm too busy.

:D

Fast on yer feet, ain't ya?

Anyone who's ever seen me run the bases knows better than that.

While the play from a couple weeks ago was very difficult (I looked at it time after time and was only sure after seeing it frame-by-frame), this play took me 1 shot to judge and I decided before I even got to the replay. There is no way that this is anything but a block (illegal screen) and the trail should expect to receive a severe tounge lashing from somebody after that not calling that one (coach, assignor, evaluator, etc.)

I think this possibly is a 2 official play with the C picking up the screener, but the bottom line is the T got surpised. Somebody needs to make the call.

The C would not likely have this call. The C is in the FC, there are only two players without the ball. This was not a full court team press.

You are absolutely correct. If I am going to be the self proclaimed it should be THE, kind of like THE Ohio State Uiversity, :D .

MTD, Sr.

Maybe you're really "The Grand Misspeller of Officiating". :D

No on this point he is absolutely right. Anytime there is anything other than a 1 on 1 matchup in the bc(Iow 3 or more players) the C should stay back. The ball is the most important part of the game and that is where everyone is watching so plays in its immediate vicinity must have more eyes on it in multiple player situations.

So in reference to this play I would not want 2 refs, my c especially, reffing that hard off ball in the FC when the ball is still 50+ ft from the basket. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

I'm a stickler for a patient C who does not bail out on the T, but I think there was just too much going on off-ball for the C to be helping the T all the way across the court there in backcourt. The pace was fast and the C needed to watch the transitioning players in front of him and get his butt to the other end. If there was a call to be made, it had to come from the T and he would have had to have been reffing "one play ahead" to see the whole thing.

I Didn't Know It Was Coming ...
 

Hey. I've just been quietly minding my own business since post number 85 of this thread, sitting back and reading the outstanding posts by other Forum members, when out of nowhere, wham, I get zinged. Now I know how the screened player in this thread felt. There should have been a whistle. A whistle would have helped with good Forum management.
