I would agree. But sometimes he's a man of too few words. ;)

Two secrets to success:

1) Don't tell everything you know.

That's awful binary of you.

When are we going to start talking about signed binary numbers!?

You know...

3-bit
-2 is 110

-or-

4-bit
-2 is 1110 :D

I just thought it was interesting that ANY violation that follows disconcertion is ignored; even if the second violation can't reasonably be "blamed" on the disconcertion.

Disconcertion -> Early entry = Replacement free throw.

Seems like it should be a double violation, but it's not.

One's complemt or two's complement? ;)

Good thing I don't drink coffee in the morning; I'd need a new monitor. :D

Thanks for the laugh!

I guess I was reading it wrong. I was reading simultaneous violation as well (or double violation in NCAA). Or am I? penalty "c" only says "a substitute free throw shall be awarded". That indicates that both penalties are enforced, which some how I managed to get hung up on. And yeah, I'm reading it the way you are now: any violation by the thrower following disconcertion by the opponent, no matter how unrelated the two may seem, results in a new free throw. "Shall."

But then, you still have to exercise judgment in determining whether it was disconcertion or not. And the word disconcert implies a direct cause and effect relationship. So maybe it really is not as black and white as it reads. :confused:

Man there are a lot of geeks here! :D

Note to Tony and the Mods: I didn't start this one ;)

Two's.
