SWMOzebra bob jenkins wrotewould you have granted a TO if it had been requested? I considered this while driving home from the game last night. Truthfully, I'm not sure if I would have or not. Perhaps I was a bit too hasty in calling for the reset. tref wroteYou didnt really turn, did you? Yes, my head ... just enough to where I hoped she (the shot clock operator) would realize I was talking to her! 🙂
tref SWMOzebra wroteYes, my head ... just enough to where I hoped she (the shot clock operator) would realize I was talking to her! 🙂 Last time I did that I missed a FF1 that my partner called, but it should've been upgraded to a FF2 & I had no info to provide... well, until I watched the film that is 😮
APG I have no problem with how you interpreted and handled the situation. For what it's worth, in the NBA: If a player is saving the ball, a throw equals a reset when applicable, while a bat would keep the shot clock the same.
Camron Rust I think this comes down to judgement of whether you think the player caught it or not. Both of you could have been right depending on how long each of you felt it was in contact with the hand.
rockyroad Maybe something to think about here...if she really had control of the ball, why did she not throw it to one of her teammates instead of an opponent? Not saying you were wrong...you seem to be questioning yourself as to whether or not she had control...so just another question to think about.
deecee Control doesn't mean you have the ability to aim. Running after a ball bouncing out of bounds you grab it with two hands as you fall out and just throw it back in over your shoulder. Control and ability to aim are mutually exclusive.

Running after a ball bouncing out of bounds you grab it with two hands as you fall out and just throw it back in over your shoulder. Control and ability to aim are mutually exclusive. Mutually exclusive??? Really??? So if you have control, you can't aim? And if you can aim, then you don't have control? I attempted to give SWMoZebra another tool to use in rethinking his play...and this is what you come back with?::eek:
deecee Having control helps aim but having control doesn't necessarily mean you will always get the pass where you want it to go.
deecee bob jenkins wroteI think he meant "not synonymous" Yes more that. You need control to at least have a chance at aim. Not mutually exclusive. My vocabulary is getting worse by the day. Ack It would be easier if English had been my second language.
rockyroad deecee wroteHaving control helps aim but having control doesn't necessarily mean you will always get the pass where you want it to go. Of course it doesn't...but it is still another tool the OP could use in reviewing his play, right?
Camron Rust deecee wroteYou need control to at least have a chance at aim. Not even that. I can aim a bat/tap/tip fairly well all without having any sort of player/team control.
