Both feet make contact with the court, without a dribble, prior to leaving his feet for the shot. <BR/><BR/>Thereby violating rule 4, section 66, article 4.<BR/><BR/>I understand: Georgetown is a much more attractive elite 8 participant than Vanderbilt given the school's prominent BB heritage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-40191004304805328092009-03-31T21:06:00.000-05:002009-03-31T21:06:00.000-05:00So a Dyson sphere is orange?So a Dyson sphere is orange?tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-56863437245206985662009-03-31T19:15:00.000-05:002009-03-31T19:15:00.000-05:00Ok Jason, here is the definitive rule:NCAA Ruleboo...Ok Jason, here is the definitive rule:<BR/>NCAA Rulebook:<BR/>Rule 4, Section 66, Article 4:<BR/>After coming to a stop and establishing the pivot foot:<BR/>a. The pivot foot may be lifted, but not returned to the playing court, before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal.<BR/><BR/>Green stopped, pivoted, then lifted his pivot foot to jump and did not bring the pivot foot back down before releasing his shot. Therefore not a travel.

He flat out pushed a player in the back, making him fly out of bounds.<BR/><BR/>The weird obsession with Green vs. Vandy was the in-studio version of a make-up call.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880180507353238513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-88320086250011593102009-03-31T14:33:00.000-05:002009-03-31T14:33:00.000-05:00Jason,Green jumped off his non-pivot foot.

Kutcher has managed to parlay being unfunny (on a historic level), unattractive, unintelligent, and untalented in any meaningful way, into a hollywood career and millions of dollars.<BR/>In fact, Kutcher isn't just a genius, he's some sort of fucking magician.<BR/>Also, don't forget, Tony Dungy is a <I>Football</I> genius. And as ESPN tells me, that is pretty much the same thing.<BR/>Actually, I wonder what would happen if geniuses on Dyson's level went into sports. I suspect they would revolutionize the game in ways we couldn't predict.PGnoreply@blogger.com
