Intentional Lane Violation on FT attempt

[Adam]

The reasoning is, we're at an impasse in the game if the offense wants to miss and the defense wants to force them to make it by committing violations. Only one of those strategies is actually employing a violation of the rules, so that's the one we'll target.

Thanks, Adam.

I thought it was a good idea. A story was relayed to me that this technique was espoused by Don Meyer. Guess it's not a viable option.

Not that I don't believe you but... I'd still like to hear other opinions.

[Adam]

No worries. We've discussed the play here before. I'm not sure this is spelled out in the rules, and some may let it go. The consensus here, though, was that this is an advantage not intended by the rules.

Okay...

Yes, it could, and I would warn you after probably the second offense.

You'd only get one warning.

Here's a previous thread on the topic.

[Raymond]

Who is Don Meyer? And should I care what he espouses?

My approach would be the same as Adam's.

My approach would be the same as Maven's. I'd even T up Don Meyer.
