A Forum member missed my hyperbole post earlier in the week. I guess that he was absent the day his high school English teacher covered hyperbole.

Learned about hyperboles in math class. Went over it a million times.

Sure, understood. I was just supporting your issue. I'd like to know what the T saw as well because based on what we can see and the fact the C came over to provide information, I'd hate to think the T just botched the call.

Hey, that somewhat resembles a court diagram. The 3-point arc is a bit misshapen but is there. The division line is there. Hmmm.

I will ask him about it. He'll be an observer at a camp I'm attending.

+1

It all depends on whether #4 got control or not. It sure doesn't look like it, but without being able to see his hands, we have no idea.

I will say that the Trail who makes the call has a clear view of #4.

A team has ten seconds to get the ball over the directrix.
