If this tactic had any impact at all on the ball, it would knock the ball in. Not out.

Yeah, but that's not the OP. :)

I actually thought of that as soon as I posted, but figured I'd leave it out there.

If an offensive player can get up there long enough to blow on the ball, at the right exact moment, and actually have an effect....
Good for him.

Only if it occurs on an aircraft carrier when half of the ship, where the court is situated, has crossed the International Date Line, during the westbound portion of the voyage and a solar eclipse is forecast within the upcoming week. My authority is from channeling the late, great Saint Curmudgeon, formerly of these parts, exalted master of minutiae.

I think perhaps I detect the aura of a supernatural creature of Scandinavian folklore, whose race was thought to have carried massive stones into the countryside where they live in hills, mountains, caves, or under bridges. They are stupid, large, brutish, hairy, long-nosed, and bug-eyed, and may also have multiple heads or horns.
