No T for me

This was obviously a case of not knowing the rules in regards to the ball being lodged between backboard/rim, not a case of not knowing who had the arrow.

Also, we do not HAVE to go with an arrow that is pointed in the wrong direction.


Coach P, how the hell did the ball get lodged on a free throw?

My first thought.

I had it happen (ball-lodged-beween-rim-and-backboard) earlier this year, actually. I didn't actually see HOW it happened (I was the L, so I was watching the rebounding action), but it did happen.

I also caused a ball to rest on the flange during a FT attempt in my JR High playing days. Also had a teammate who, airballed the first of 2 FTs. Coach said "You need to shoot it a bit harder", and his next attempt went over the backboard.
