    Throwing the Ball to the Ref After a Make

    While I appreciate anyone digging into a basketball rule book, I think the part that you highlighted does not pertain to this specific act. You highlighted a part about a player not giving the official the ball after a whistle has been blown (i.e., a foul called or a travelling violation). After...

    Got my men's NC Husky bobblehead...

    I bought both of the ones they were selling, set to arrive tomorrow. I too was wondering if they were ever actually going to ship out, but their customer service (when they eventually picked up the phone) was very helpful in explaining it was taking longer than usual, but the orders were still...

    The worst coach you have personal experience playing for.

    So So was your coach a very young James Calhoun? Didn’t he get his start coaching in Old Lyme

    Too High Expectations

    It was just so frustrating watching him at the rim. For someone so big, he struggled mightily putting the ball in the basket

    Transfer Portal - May 2023

    https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/37669774/all-big-west-guard-zyon-pullin-expected-enter-transfer-portal We had a pretty successful transfer from California last year. Wonder if there is any interest here. Put up some decent numbers against Colorado, Oregon and Portland...

    Joey Calcaterra 1000 pts

    I hadn't realized he was so close to this accomplishment. I wonder if it was in the back of his mind and he was pressing a bit recently, which might help explain a little bit of the drought. Anyway, congratulations Joey C!

    Chief’s Briefs - Deleware State Edition

    Hurley mentioned in the post-game press conference that he thought Newton just got hit below the belt and didn't expect it to be serious. Not sure I saw any contact below the belt when I was watching, though. I guess we will see soon.

    Warde Manuel will have some decisions to make after melee.

    Does no one else find it odd that UM has been involved in post-game altercations 2 weeks in a row? Are they out there stirring the pot heading into the locker room and it leads to these types of incidents? It's just curious to me. They might need to look in the mirror as well here. Note, I am...

    Dan Hurley/Kimani Young post game press conference

    Actually, as stupid as this seems, it is the refs business. Here is the rule from the NCAA book: Rule 10 Section 3. CLASS A Unsporting Technical Infractions Art. 1. A player or substitute committing an unsportsmanlike act including, but not limited to, the following: a. Disrespectfully...

    Student Section

    Interesting. Did you factor in ranked/unranked opponents into that analysis? I'm genuinely curious because when I was a student there, it seemed like we played better quality opponents at Gampel each year (obviously both had cupcakes built in, but I would think if you are looking for a gambler's...

    YTTV

    These things come up regularly with YTTV. The most recent one I remember was NBC. The deals usually get sorted out at the last minute so I’m not worrying about it. Worst case, they drop the Disney channels and lower everyone’s bill by $15 and then you take the $15 and buy the Disney+ package for...

    Once he put the ball down and attempted the dribble it became a traveling violation.

    Officiating

    You cannot legally begin a dribble with both feet off the ground once a pivot foot is established. That is why RJs was a travel. Once he jumped off the ground with both feet he gave up his pivot and ability to start a dribble.

    VCU Scouting Report

    Watched the entire game there tonight. They fought Baylor hard. Couple of cheap/bad calls against them in the first half kept them a little too far away from catching Baylor. Their full court press is going to be extremely problematic for us considering how we matched up against Auburns press...

    Rules Question

    I agree with that however the rule doesn’t say that. It all has to do with when a substitute becomes a player in this scenario.

    Rules Question

    Haha dang autocorrect. Should have said a “substitute doesn’t”. Who cares about Diane anyway?

    Rules Question

    Fair if that is what happened. Hard to tell in the arena what actually transpired but in order for it to be illegal and a technical foul the officials would have need to bring him on to the floor to make him a player, which from what I could tell never actually happened. The scorer hitting the...

    Rules Question

    Not the scorer’s job. The scorer hitting the horn is irrelevant, albeit confusing. A substitute Diane become a player until the officials beckon them onto the floor. That is when it becomes a problem.

    Rules Question

    Technically doesn’t become a player until the officials beckon him on to the floor which I did not see them do. Then, they need to notice it before he leaves and then they would call a technical foul. It was extremely close to being one.

    We got through security in about the same time. Longer lines than normal at our airport. I am curious about what the customs line will be like when we land in Nassau in a couple of hours.

    Bahamas Health Visa

    This entire process has been a CF to say the least. I have a client that deals with this type of stuff regularly and told them this morning that there is a huge untapped market to making this process so much easier. I’m not smart enough to figure out the logistics of simplifying it but I am...

    Bahamas Health Visa

    Delta is advising us to arrive at least 3 hours early to verify travel documents. Fortunately, we fly out of a smaller airport, and security is never a major deal. Probably will still plan on getting there about 2-2.5 hours before our flight tomorrow morning.

    Bahamas Health Visa

    Don’t hold me to this but I believe if your stay is longer than 4 days, you need to get a test in the Bahamas on the 5th day. I vaguely recall reading this when doing some of the research. I also remember reading that if you are staying at Atlantis, the test is complementary. I’m just going to...

    Bahamas Health Visa

    My research indicates that you would be able to use USD everywhere. Now, if you go to some of the more rural areas, that might be different, but if you are planning to stay close to Atlantis, I can't imagine you will have any problem using USD.

    Bahamas Health Visa

    Yes, we arrive on Saturday. I confirmed with the Bahamas, test day is your "0" day, so you effectively have 6 days from the date of the test to arrive in the Bahamas. You cannot enter your travel information, or submit the application, until you have the results in hand to attach/upload with the...

    Bahamas Health Visa

    I got mine approved last night (submitted yesterday afternoon) and paid it this morning. Pretty efficient, but definitely worrisome. Submitted my wife's this morning, so hoping to have hers back either tonight or tomorrow morning.

    Is the change to allowing a rapid antigen test something new/recent? When I was setting our profiles up last week, I was under the impression that a PCR test was all that was accepted, regardless of vaccination status.
