Why did you think that?

I thought rebounding your own airball was legal (4.44 Sit. B). I read the sentence by fiasco, "A myth is something people think is true but really is not, like being able to catch your own airball.", as people think it's true that you are able to catch your own airball but it's not. I just interpreted the sentence differently. I had a long discussion with a parent of one of the VB players last week about this and had to show him the case play before he would believe me.

You're right. I mis-read your post. Catching your own airball is legal and it's a myth that you can't. But that's one rule I think fans are starting to learn. I'm starting to see instances where it happens and no moans come from the crowd.

Next step: high dribble.

Hopefully a shorter version than we've seen before. Top ten, one sentence each, or no one not hooked on nutmeg will read it.

1. Over the back
2. Sliding on the floor with the ball is automatically walking
3. You have to be standing still with your hands holding your crotch to take a charge
4. Dribbling high is a carry
5. Awkward plays are always illegal

Etc etc
