Message: [QUOTE="ConwayGmck, post: 4953721, member: 10442"] It reminds me of players defending a layup or jump shot close to the basket, and they stand still with their arms straight up in the air. Or so they thought they did. They get called for the foul and then are in shock, holding their arms straight up to show that they never wavered from their principle of verticality. But then we watch the replay, and sure enough, they lowered their arms towards the player taking the shot. But they didn't mean to, and didn't even realize that they did. It's an unconscious body reaction in the midst of frenetically competitive action. They can't help themselves. It's easier said than done..... [/QUOTE]
