Never Ceases To Amaze Me

In my Alleged Adult league game last night I had a first for me. Foul shots and D1 violates the line he then reaches up and blocks the free throwers shot. Two point game at the time and turned into a 6 point swing. How Dumb can some people be?

Ed - have you ever heard of the Darwin Awards? Darwin Awards: 2008 Darwin Awards

Makes your FT blocker look ok. I think.

This happened in a well-publicized NCAA D1 men's game last season. I can't remember the game, but we talked about it here. The coach actually told the player to do it so that the clock wouldn't start if the free throw was missed.

It worked. The clock didn't start.

UK GA - Goaltended FT

1.2 seconds to go in OT, team B down two, 1 FT remaining for team A. Team B out of timeouts. Coach B instructs player B5 to GT the final FT to prevent the clock from starting in case of a miss... Coach B thought he was choosing to give up 1 point in order to have 1.2 seconds on the clock....but didn't know that it was also a T.

Thanks Camron, now I remember. What a stupid thing to do.
