    And one time when someone asked Albert Einstein what it was like to be the smartest man in the world he responded "You should ask James E Talmadge". So you have to figure it was a good education he got at Lehigh.

      Players not in a legal marked lane space shall remain behind the free- throw line extended and behind the three-point field-goal line until the ball strikes the ring, flange or backboard, or until the free throw ends.

        I'm not arguing with you. I'm just stating that Clark Kellg's explanation was wrong.

        There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

          I was originally going from memory and I wanted solid back up of your criticism of CK based on that statement.

          • Still seems like a strange time to make the call. Also, the intentional foul moments later? It's assumed that the team trailing is going to foul so even if it was before the ball was inbounded why call that intentional? Letter vs spirit?

              that's an automatic intentional, iirc.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                • So since the theme of this tournament is officiating to the technical letter of the law, I am sure that every time a big guy slips and steps into the key it has been and will be called as a lane violation.

                    • Syracuse has this locked up and will be the first team to advance to the sweet 16.

                      • O'Quinn from Norfolk State is becoming one of my favorite personalities of NCAA history. Him singing "One Shining Moment" at halftime on Gonzaga/Ohio State was awesome. What a cool kid.

                            But would Carlino have done as well as Pangos, that is the question.

                              And I was wondering whether Chris Hines would have done as well. So I guess we really don't know what the question is.
