How About This One

Wow! You're right, that is good.

Just think what they might have come up with if they hadn't gotten together first.

For those who wonder what should have happened here:

1. Since the "shooter" was not at her team's basket, there was no try, and the foul is thus a common foul.

2. Since it was a common foul, the ball was dead when the player was fouled -- no shot, so no points and no free throws.

3. The fouled team should get the ball for a throw-in. With any luck, they'll head the proper direction.

mbyron,

So, what you're saying is, other than those few errors, the crew got it right? Correct?

What foul? What was the disadvantage from the contact?

I'm going from the point where the foul was called, not challenging the call itself.

Bigger question - if you're on the home team, why bump the arm of someone who's aiming for your basket?

Because they're a dexter-head?

Instinct?

Just proves the statement:

Some players try to block everything.

And don't forget that even if the ball goes in, it's only two points. No 3 pointers in the wrong basket.

I gotta tell you that I thought my buddy was making it all up to pull my leg - he's a D-I official - but he was completely serious.

I chose not to add that to the current thread, since the foul prevented the basket from counting. I was focused on what the officials should have done in their situation.

Were they the only two players who headed the wrong way?

Good question...I'll ask him the next time we talk.

It's like the last scene in White Man Can't Jump where Wesley tells Woody he isn't shooting at Zaire, he is shooting at Zimbabwe! What would they have done had the shooter turned around and chucked the free throw into the other hoop?
