How about it Mark Padgett? You must know some tree hugging, pot smoking, hippies in the "Beaver State? Oregon was recently named one of the favorite states of liberals. Surprised?

Billy, you need to work another sport. You have too much free time on your hands.

The "ordinary garden variety" charge call reminded me that spring is right around the corner. My impatiens go in the ground in about ten weeks. It's the most wonderful time of the year. And AllPurposeGamer is corect. Connecticut is one of the the bluest of the blue states. We even have "Blue Laws".

Are you sure you have not been "smoking" that lately?

Surprisingly, medical marijuana not yet legal in Connecticut. Our state legislator is looking at this right now, and our governor says that he will sign the bill if it's put in front of him. And I was wrong in my previous post. The beginning of basketball season is the most wonderful time of the year. Getting ready to put in my vegetable, and flower, garden is the second most wonderful time of the year.

If he doesn't sign the bill, you can always move out here to Oregon.

Thanks for all the responses.

I thought it was the right call, but I didn't expect 100 percent agreement, and I was hoping for more discussion on why it was a no-brainer instead of only that it was a no-brainer, so I could gain insight into one of the tougher calls (to me) in basketball. That seemed like an O.K. reason to post here.

It's a no brainer because the defender obtained an initial legal guarding position by virtue of having two feet on the floor and his torso facing the defender, and gaining that LGP before the player with the ball was airborne. Time and distance did not apply because the player had the ball and no time and distance is afforded for him.

You'll have to forgive us; it's like Pavlov's bells this time of year, and you played all the right notes.

Maybe you could answer a question: why did you think it was close?

I guess I should rephrase...what in the blue hell does your gardening activities or medical marijuana have to do with the block charge play in the OP?

The call being an ordinary garden variety charge call. I've got gardening on my mind today. It's the second most wonderful time of the year. I can't wait to see the centerfold in my next seed catalog. My last seed catalog had a real hot petunia as the centerfold.

Saw this live and thought it was super-standard. Not even close. Would have been controversial if it hadn't been called!
