Double dribble

Its a 3 whistle game, so its just 5-7 steps down.

If A5 passed the ball from the low post, how could the L possibly rule on what A1 did in the Ts PCA?

That was several seasons ago.

Snaqs, couldn't you have called your own IW to make it right?


I understand that we cant make a habit of this during one contest, but I think we should "get it right" depending on the game situation.

5 point game in the 1st Q... maybe not as the team can recover from this IC.
2 point game with :52 left in th 4th Q... most definitely, huh?

I think good partnering & good GM skills include the "get it right" mentality vs. "boy did he get that one wrong" mindset. JMO

IKR!
