So if the wind is blowing 30mph from the north a team cannot state "we will defend the north goal" as their choice?

Yet many FIBA officials do it just the same. I don't.

To do so, they must first choose to kick. If they do that, they will likely start both halves by kicking.

Okay ... this is off topic. But a team COULD choose to defend a goal (choice "b" in 3-2-3) with the first choice and the other team could opt to kick with the remaining choice (choice "a").

Defending a goal does not automatically dictate you'll be kicking.

That is all.

We now return you to your basketball forum thread ... already in progress.

Obviously you've never met Abner Haynes.

Google the 1962 AFL Championship game.

I suppose if you're gonna go off topic, it might as well be with a moderator.

I'd get one and then take every opportunity to wear it. There's no better way to force yourself to learn the rules inside and out and it couldn't hurt you in your association, either.

I'm tempted to use my powers for evil and erase all record of my wrongs.
