While watching a BB game yesterday (Nov 22) I observed a “charge” call. The announcers spent 5 minutes explaining how, once the defensive player had his feet set, he could move his upper body East to West in order to create the charge. In this example, the d players “off side” foot was coming off of the floor when contact occurred . . . . .
Tonight, I observed a player plant both feet, then just as he was about to be hit, rotated his shoulders slightly, to soften the blow. He was called for a defensive foul. The play was explained by the announcers as a good call. They explained once a d player was set, he could not rotate or move side to side.
I’m guessing the rules change with the announcers . . . . . like many politicians . . . . .
Tonight, I was watching Caleb Mills and the Florida State game. Announcer brags on the FS coach. Saying his is doing a great job at bringing the FS program back to prominence . . . . . this while they are sitting at 1 and 6 so far this year . . . . . Amusing
Justice Stewart was attempting to describe the threshold test for obscenity in Jacobellis v, Ohio. Within the context of the case, the obscenity was hard core pornography.
I think CKS would say the same about Mills that he just mentioned about Mark. He, when he was recruited, was a great scorer, but he did not and still does not know how to play basketball . . . . .
