With the exception of McGary they're all on the North team. McGary's at some academy in the northeast I think.

 

I'm drunk. Our guys are going to show up your guys on the same team.

[hawkeyecub]

And if any Illinois fans were being honest, they would have loved him his last 3 years at UI.

 

He just alienated himself from the K State program for the foreseeable future. It's immature butthurt. Was he a good player? Sure.

 

I have no desire to do the research but I think McCamey was in the same class.

 

Probably. But I [expletive] loved Pullen in college.

[Magnetic Curses]

oh, the flab 5 is probably playing, how fun!

Damn shame too. They were all lining up to invite Michael Orris.

You better hope Pat Ingram told Mike to take it easy on his guy Johnson or he'll knock him out in the huddle.

Flab 5 made me laugh.

 

EDIT: Then I saw your commit list and laughed harder though.

Well to be fair, pretty much everyone associated with the K-State program outside the athletic program reacted the same way today. Besides being alienated from K-State hoops sounds like a real harsh punishment. Such a legendary program. At least Pullen didn't piss in towels on the sideline during a game. :P

[Magnetic Curses]

for which year?

[Magnetic Curses]

can't wait to see the anthony clemmons star shine

[Sosa21MVP]

If Groce is the absolute right guy and has great success, does he stick around long-term? Fair or not, the way Kruger and Self left Illinois I just wonder about that. Different situations for sure...Henson stuck around for a long time but after his Final Four team he kind of hit a plateau of sorts.

 

Why would you wonder about that because of Kruger and Self? Try harder next time.

 

You never know, a Top 15 program might offer him a job if he does well. :hello:

[Magnetic Curses]

yeah, we're all real worried about that

[Magnetic Curses]

super duper worried

[Sosa21MVP]

yeah, we're all real worried about that

 

Damn you, it took me all day to come up with that witty comeback. Don't burst my bubble. :?

[cbbryan]

I was a bit confused by the lane violation call on Kraft tonight. I know it's a violation to step over the line, but it's my understanding that you can be moving forward.

 

I looked up general rules of free throws and found this:

 

Free throws are organized in procession. The shooter takes his place behind the free throw line (5.8 m (19 ft) from the base line, 4.6 m (15 ft) from the basket). All other players must stand in their correct places until the ball leaves the shooter's hands:

Up to four people from the defensive team and two people from the shooting team line up along the sides of the restricted area (keyhole, paint, lane). These players are usually the ones that rebound the ball. Three line up on each side. A defensive player always takes the place closest to the basket.

The remaining players must remain behind the three point line and the free throw line extended (an imaginary line extended from the free throw line in both directions to the sidelines).

Leaving their designated places before the ball leaves the shooter's hands, interfering with the ball, are all violations. In addition, the shooter must release the ball within five seconds (ten seconds in the United States) and must not step on or over the free throw line until the ball touches the ring. Players are, however, permitted to jump while attempting the free throw, provided they do not leave the designated area at any point. [1] A violation by the shooter cancels the free throw; a violation by the defensive team results in a substitute free throw if the shooter missed; a violation by the offensive team or a shot that completely misses the ring results in the loss of possession to the defensive team (only if it is on the last free throw).

Under FIBA rules, if the shooter does not commit a violation, and the ball goes in the basket, the attempt is successful, regardless of violations committed by any non-shooter.

 

I would assume a step is designated by your foot coming down before the ball hits the rim and I'm not sure that was the case on that shot.

 

Anyone have the same reaction, or am I misunderstanding the rule?

[Guest]

Andy Staples quoted something on twitter after it happened that referred to not breaking the "vertical plane" of the free throw line, which means it's not about where the foot falls. Ultimately, I think he had completed his step when the ball hit the rim anyway.

[illiniguy]

for which year?

The one where we don't blast them. How's our commit list look for '13?

[Sosa21MVP]

DeShaun on the BTN post-game..."Whitney or whatever his name is" lol talking about Whitey errr Withey.

Is there a more annoying Internet trend than the use of the word "butthurt"?

James and Hill don't look like they are dangers to de-commit, and I have a good feeling about Kendrick Nunn.

 

I'd like to see a big man added to the list, though.
