Yup..... common, widely used and been around for a while.

You learn something new everyday I guess. I never really gave much thought to its originality, I just found it amusing.

Oh that? It's a saying one of my association's JV instructors came up with. For whatever reason the newer officials were having a chronic problem with proper positioning on an front court end line throw in. Apparently they were positioning themselves between the player and the basket, rather than being outside the player. So he came up with this catchy little saying to help them remember they need to be outside the player, with the player towards the basket. I found it amusing and decided to make it my signature.

Scrapper was clearly making a joke about prisoners and "*** to the glass" in your sig line, but you missed his attempt at humor.

Yeah, it probably went under his head.

That's a low blow.

So I'm trying to envision how this would work. I bet they chain the umpires to the goal posts.

These guys work out great. They are used to being on the chain gang.
