Woo..... thanks for the heads up TJ. I was just about to send you a check! Of course, in the tradition of the Forum, you can always just send us your account and PIN number.....

Sux though. Hope it's not too problematic for you. Good luck.

The "Bad Old Days". And don't forget, we had to walk to all of our games, in the snow, uphill, both ways. Some of those middle school girls games would still be going on if they didn't change from jump balls to alternating possession..

Sure they would. Officials would learn to let the girls play through 80% of those "held balls" rather than killing the play too quickly.

They didn't play through any of them. Before the gap occurred, these tie ups would usually involved at least 4 players and often 8 or 10. And often right after a jump ball.

I will say that, for the most part, around here anyway, girls are getting better at playing through these rather than both of them looking at me as soon as the defender gets her hands on the ball.

Wasn't that way in the 70's.

I was able to get my account back under control. Thankfully, I was able to get my contacts and several e-mails I needed.

If you need my new e-mail address, please send me a PM.
