"Jim Marshall" Play

[tjones1]

I don't think it's a Bush League play.

Know where you're suppose to be and don't follow others. If you're listening/watching, thinking, and communicating with your teammates, you should figure it out.

I think you have to be playing in a bush league for this to work more than once in a blue moon.

The fact that it's JV level no doubt contributes to its frequent success over the past six or seven years.

A jv coach should know better and be more on the ball than to let this happen to his team.

Maybe we should send an anonymous letter to the league commissioner, the principal, and the head coach that the jv coach who fell for this tactic should have his fingernails pulled out as punishment for not instructing his team which basket they should be defending

Thanks Devon!

Agreed. If this is a bush league play, then so is a shot fake or a backcut.

How dare they try to fool the opposition by playing within the rules.

It is up to the coach to catch on. A kid shooting at the wrong basket happens occasionally. However, as officials, we cannot shout out, "Don't shoot! You are at the wrong basket!" This falls into the same category.
As an aside, at a JV game prior to mine a few weeks ago, a team scored TWICE at the wrong end. My partner and I agreed that it sure would have been great if it were two different players. Not sure it was. We left it alone.
