No, I was the quiet tall guy being double teamed off the ball all game.

I was called for it once--while the ball was in the air on the shot. My Dad (who reffed a bit) said he was counting and it was 7-8 seconds and he was watching the ref who did not have a visible...

NBA illegal screens LA v GS

I'm curious what the refs here thought of the two illegal screen calls on Draymond Green last night. Warriors fans all over the place are moaning about them being evidence of a conspiracy (along with...

Just curious. What is different between HS/NCAA GT? Is it that NCAA adopted the NBA bar on touching after it hits the glass, or something else?

Caveat: the pass can become the start of the dribble so long as it is the legal start of a dribble--the "passer" didn't lift the pivot foot before releasing the ball.

Aside: a couple of years ago,...
