I, for one, am just glad that Billy didn't post a picture based on this post:

Be careful, don't give me any ideas. I'm getting a colonoscopy tomorrow, and I can post photos on the Forum if anybody is interested in my results.

And with that....let's get this back towards on topic before I issue a pre-emptive strike on Billy's account. :)

Would it involve a "drone" attack? Or maybe just an image of a UAV?

Here is video of the play in question. Go to 1:26:45. Defender on the ground reaches out and grabs the ankle of the player with the ball.

I for one did not get the joke the first time, so this was much appreciated.

And back on topic of the video ... it seems like its intentional ... but from that far away, it would be easy to be fooled if the player fouled was exaggerating the contact.

looks like intentional.

Not sure why that wasn't an intentional to be frank.

It certainly could have been but I guess it was missing the element of stopping an an opponent in an obviously advantageous position. It isn't like the fouled player was looking at an open shot.

Yeah, I get that. But intentionally grabbing a player's ankle isn't basketball, and it's certainly a safety risk. This play is an intentional for me (I won't say "in my game") 10 times out of 10.

How About The Eleventh Time ???

No wiggle room?

Once I've seen the play ten times, I'll worry about what to do the eleventh.

I don't disagree, just offering a reason some may not call an intentional.
