L of a play

[Amesman]

A1 shoots and A2, who is significantly taller than B2, closes down for an over the back -- but not ON the back -- rebound. Success, but A2 is now effectively an 'L' shape over B2 upon gathering the ball. B2, who was leaning forward, now straightens up and maybe even raises arms straight up. Lots of contact. In B2's airspace.

Whaddya got?

Most often, it's fleeting contact because A2 is pulling out of the fire or on the move, so I got nothing. But what of it if A2, aka "the 'L' " lingers, and even takes a shot, with plenty of contact made in B2's own airspace?

To pre-empt a possible Padgett inquiry, a trip into OT is not on the line.

Would have to see the play and what was being called earlier in the game. You could have a foul on A2 on the rebound. However, you could have noting.

I'm guessing its one of these you had to be there plays as I cannot picture this in my head.

It depends. A2 is responsible for the contact, so it's either a foul on A2 or nothing. You have to ask if the contact put B2 at a disadvantage.

Sorry, but it's in Padgett's contract that he can't be preëmpted.

Maybe we should take a poll?

They may have read about it on the internet.

Billy, my parents were each in 9th grade, 2000 miles away from each other in 1968; yet I know what it is.

Jets fan? Raiders fan? NFL fan?

In 1968, I was a high school sophomore, and was actually watching the game, on WNBC, Channel 4, New York, when it switched over to Heidi. I didn't think it was a big deal at the time, until I read the sports section of the New Haven Register the next day.

P.S. And I do remember "The Heidi Bowl" game as it became to be called. I was really honked off when NBC switched to the movie.

When I saw this post, I got a smile on my face. I thought it was great that someone would remember and use this reference. Plus - it really was a funny comment to the previous post. Good job.

I disagree.
