10-1-5 has a different meaning than you seem to think.

I whistled her for 5 seconds after picking her dribble up. so it is legal for her to stand there, even though she used up her dribble, for however long until she is closely guarded? obviously when the defense comes out, she can only pass or shoot.

[IREFU2]

If she is closely guarded while she is holding the ball, she 5 second to get rid of the ball. If she is not closely guarded, she can stand there all day. This is a very simple rule in my opinion.

My New Year's resolution is to try to be nicer.

I've noticed that I put things so matter-of-factly and bluntly that it tends to elicit a negative reaction from people when I was really just trying to give them an answer as quickly and succintly as possible. I'm a very honest and direct person. That has both its positives and negatives.
Anyway, I'm going to attempt to soften my approach. We'll see how it goes. It can't hurt to try.

Of course, this effort tends to get tossed aside when someone makes a snide remark or insulting comment about me. That's when my inner Jurassic Referee comes out.

Which New Year? I want to mark it on my calendar:

January 1, 2009? Or, Chinese New Year, January 26, 4707, the year of the Ox, or The Islamic New Year, the first day of Muharram, December 29, 1430 AH.

That is correct.

I'm wondering, What was the coach's reaction? What was your partner's reaction? What sort of post-game did you and your partner have? You obviously have begun to question your call, since you posted it here for clarification.
