foul just before buzzer

A conference — and some wiping — might be advisable if the "shot" goes in.

I guess this is another HTBT situation, but I don't think we would handle it the same way. If the shot is eventually released and goes in maybe I would wipe it once, but I guess I'm so verbal at the spot and while I report that the conference with the coaches still isn't necessary. One coach is going to be happy the shot doesn't count anyway.

And if I were working with you, I'd be just fine with this. As I said initially, the crucial point is communication, and if you do it with your voice rather than your signals, I'd have no problem with that.

It's the guys who leave everything a big secret that get into trouble.

Maven, thanks for your signature...I'm a Quality Manager and was going to use that quote, but someone told me they don't like "dead guy quotes".

That's too bad. Most people are dead.

But, you're welcome.

I believe there are now more people alive than have died. Think I heard that in the prologue to a TV show or movie once.

I believe that, whether this is true or not, it would be difficult to prove.
