RBSinTo Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Chief, That's basketball, right? When it's all finished, please take a minute, oh hell, go crazy, take two minutes, and tell me all about it. RBSinTo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepdog1969 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 RBSin To, here is a bit about basketball; Rules for the offense The basketball team on offense is the team with the basketball. When a player has the basketball there are certain rules they must follow: 1) The player must bounce, or dribble, the ball with one hand while moving both feet. If, at any time, both hands touch the ball or the player stops dribbling, the player must only move one foot. The foot that is stationary is called the pivot foot. 2) The basketball player can only take one turn at dribbling. In other words, once a player has stopped dribbling they cannot start another dribble. A player who starts dribbling again is called for a double-dribbling violation and looses the basketball to the other team. A player can only start another dribble after another player from either team touches or gains control of the basketball. This is usually after a shot or pass. 3) The ball must stay in bounds. If the offensive team looses the ball out of bounds the other team gets control of the basketball. 4) Just kidding! Ha Ha, but here is a link if you really want to know more. https://www.ducksters.com/sports/basketballrules.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The University of Illinois and The University of Alabama both won upsets! Since Nick Saban left Bama, football is being replaced by Basketball.

Sarge, I've no idea what a Gonzaga is, but I recall it being the earliest ever recording of Led Zep bootlegs I have heard - 1968. And it sounds kind of cool. So count me in!

'Scales Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 We get most major American sports here on ESPN and such - I quite like the MLB and Nascar races as something to have on in the background that I'll watch for a few minutes here and there between going about my day as they go for so long (your night sports start about 9am here). I will sometimes watch a game of your football (gridiron) mainly in the finals like when Detroit were close to doing something unexpected this year, ....but basketball or Ice Hockey seldom if ever. I see we get college level Football and Basketball too but haven't ever watched any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game bores me to tears, and I have absolutely no interest in it at any level: NCAA or NBA. RBSinTo I guess I appreciate sports where it seems there is a semblance of tactics and strategy. Throwing the ball back and forth until one of you gets a clear shot at shooting at the basket is all I see happening. Maybe because I've never had an interest in spending the time required to understand the fine points of the game. My father loved to watch it on TV after he retired.

Remember driving a car and turning left is a sport. Ok they do it at high speeds. To me sport has a ball or a puck and you have to do it against an opponent or a team. I can go golfing by myself that’s an activity, but I have to play tennis against somebody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them college kids are throwing elbows under the rim when rebounding. And as the Buffalo said in the commercial you gotta Box Out. It’s fundamentals.
