Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 3454051, member: 1673"] Good to hear from you (I used to be mapper). During the 2002 perfect season our closest game was against Virginia Tech. Towards the end a VT player breaks away in transition for a lay up. Taurasi races and blocks her shot cleanly, as video replay shows without any doubt. No incidental contact between any parts of the body, just Taurasi's outstretched hand touching only ball soon after it leaves the player's hand. Taurasi is called for an intentional foul (not merely a foul, the ref concluded without evidence that Taurasi's rush to the player to stop the shot mush have involved deliberate physical contact to succeed), making a close game tighter in the final couple of minutes. Fortunately, we still won. Incidentally, Taurasi is in the top twenty all time for blocked shots in the WNBA. On edit: Crazy Cam, er, CammCrz, the expert on all things Taurasi, pointed out to me that Taurasi is no longer in the top twenty for blocks. This past year she was passed by two players. [/QUOTE]
