Is this a character from Adventure Time?

 

[peaygolf]

Final Four is a #4 seed, 2 #5 seeds, and a #9 seed. Wild.

Technically behind the backboard. The top itself is in bounds, but anything over it is out.

When it doesn’t touch or come from the front, the rule makes no sense to me.

Yeah especially since you can throw a ball from out of bounds back in bounds

Clock doesn’t stop after first downs except last 2 minutes of either half. Not a big deal.

Thanks!!

Since I was an official years ago, I knew the top was still in, over was out, and that there was a “Larry Bird” rule. He made one in the NBA that they called off.

I looked into it more, and a site described it as this: think of the back of the backboard as a tunnel going straight back. If the ball goes anywhere in that imaginary tunnel, then it’s out because it is straight behind. If the angle is offset and over “the imaginary tunnel,” then it can still be good. It’s kind of a subjective call.

Yes, but if you throw it and hit the back of the backboard, it’s out.

They haven’t officially passed it yet, have they?

To clear from that distance, it seems to me it definitely had to go over that imaginary tunnel. Don’t you think so?

He’s not wrong. This tournament has been good but the quality of the college game has dropped dramatically in the past decade.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

It’s not hard unless you make it hard.

Okay
Okay
Okay
I have tried to just scroll on past, but I just can’t do it…

That’s what she said

Literally that’s what @SweetasSoda said, so technically my post isn’t insulting at all…

No offense @SweetasSoda , not trying to impugn your integrity… I just couldn’t resist.

Is that the full extent of it? I saw quotes from Saban advocating that the officials should not set the ball immediately on first downs and the defense be permitted to substitute. That Saban proposal was specifically aimed at us. It's a big part of our offense and everyone who wrote about it (except some dishonest Bama sites) specifically noted that it is specifically intended to hurt Tennessee. You know, the team that dropped 52 on Saban. @SweetasSoda

Edit: Even the rule you mention is not unrelated to his fear of our offense. Word is (confirmed by his OC choice and focus on TEs) that Saban intends to imitate Kirby. He aims to burn as much clock as possible to limit our number of possessions. Running the clock after first downs is part of his scheme to stop us. But making a rule that we can't snap after a first down until he substitutes whether we substitute or not is flagrantly an attempt to stop in the rules office what he couldn't stop in the field.

LSU couldn't stop it either. That's the tie-in with disco boy.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Lmao...this dude gonna act like there's coaching in the NBA....and talk about shot making when there is zero evidence of defense being played in the pros. Comments like this kill me.
