I've had it once in 24 years.

I have had it several times, but of course you are just a "youngin', " when it comes to the number of years that we have been in this racket.

I used to be amazed at those who have been doing this for 40 or so years. But now that I'm in my 26th year...I'm amazed that I'm still going at it. Actually, I can see myself doing this for another 10-15 years, at least.

I have 11 varsity HS or juco dates in the next 13 days. And looking forward to it. We'll see how I feel in mid-February.

2 consecutive FTs coming to rest on the flange.

Calling a multiple foul would be more akin to calling a foul for aiding the runner in a football game (think the Bush Push).

Disagree: Gap's entry is a statistically rare event that deploys a perfectly ordinary rule provision (AP arrow).

The 1-point safety is a statistically rare event that deploys a rarely used rule provision. GT on a FT is more analogous.

Jump ball between non-designated jumpers on a held ball before AP is set.

Wedging/sticking a free throw between the glass and rim. Saw it three years ago in a HS game, and doubt I'll ever see it again.

Happened to me in my 2nd game ever.
