ABA Basketball
 
I got picked up. Now I just need to prove I belong.

They do have some interesting rules.

3D Rule
If the team on offense turns the ball over in the back court, 3D goes into effect. The team who gained possesion now gets a bonus point if they score. three points for a two point play, four points for a three point play. If they are fouled and score thye get to shoot the free throw making for the potential of a five point play. There is even the possibility of a nine point play if we have an intentional foul during 3D in which a three point bucket is scored. four points for the three point bucket, two for the free throws on an intentional and three more if they score a three point bucket.

They only have seven seconds to get the ball across midcourt.

They also have a 5 second backdown rule that I do not know all of the details.

The jerseys that the officials wear do NOT come in micro mesh and are made of the thick hot polyester material. Gonna make for some sweaty games.

All that and you get to lose a little extra water weight too? What a deal! ;)

Try reading the thread's subject. If you had, you could have used Google.

But to save you the time, click here: OP's subject into Google.

Congrats, should be interesting to say the least!

Will you primarily be doing games in Texas?

B.S.

In the time it took you to type the original question, and again the reply, you could have had the answer.

Yes. But the good thing is at Christmas time when I travel back to Indiana, or if I get the sales job I just interviewed for, I would be able to work games in the areas that I would be traveling to.

Welpe Wed Jul 28, 2010 09:24pm
Nice. Let me know if you ever make it up this way, I'd be curious to see one of those games.

It used to be 8 when I worked a few years ago. :p
It was so hard to count that high. After 7 it was a bit of a struggle :D

They were at 8 before the NBA went to 8, as soon as the NBA went to 8 they went to 7.
