You said that just so I could grit my teeth huh? I was watching a game the other night. A player gets the ball near the post on the other side of the paint from the lead. The kid makes an up-and-under move - tweet, and one - from the lead. [Grrrrrr] It wasn't a play that the C couldn't clearly see. I ask him about it after the game and he says, "It was right in front of me." So, I ask how it could be in front of him when the moved started outside the paint on the other side of the lane. He still says it was right in front of him even though it wasn't. He walks away and his partner tells me, "He was doing that the whole game." I will be discussing this with his crew chiefs, who happen to be my friends.

Sorry, I haven't been around long enough. I still don't understand some of the inside jokes running through this Forum.

The Army pays for us to learn other languages. I'll check to see if Pompous is on the list.

2. Travel signal for a throwin violation.
3. "Let it hit the rim" on free throws.
4. Foul tip on blocked shots.

I'm not sure either. I'm guessing the really stiff, quick herky jerky moves. Kind of like old white guys dancing

Exactly. AKA "zombie." And the worst part is it's usually verbalized as "over the back."
