@voodoo certainly think they miss a bit in terms if layup and dunks

You can do a layup, I'm surprised you haven't seen it. Don't think you can dunk.

Just don't see it tried too often.

That's pretty much 90% of the scoring plays from one guy in my team. I don't do it because unco and I've usually already taken my 1.5 steps just to get within shooting range.

Am speaking as a former netball dad

Well you obviously didn't yell loud enough.

Am speaking as a player.

Edit: you probably don't see too many layups and dunks in kids basketball either.

You ever tried "encouraging" a teenage girl? I relegated myself to scorer so I didn’t "encourage" loud enough to be "embarrassing "...

When I played GA or GS, I would do "layups". They're more like finger rolls, basically just jumping put-backs.

I think the rule against dunking might be touching the rim being banned? Not that it really matters...

My daughter plays, I watch and enjoy it cos she's playing. I can even watch the pros play. Doesn't stop me from the realisation that many of the rules are daft

Definitely. But that was a long time ago now.

Speaking of scoring.

I scored the other day for my sons cricket game. Fuck me, I'd forgotten how much you have to concentrate. Absolute nightmare. Made half of it up in the end.

Thats a stupid post

I've played seasons, I understand the game.

And I think many of the rules are dumb.

We're talking basketball right? Oh you can only touch the ball with one hand otherwise you have to shoot or pass. Yeah good one.

That's an embarrassing post. You might want to delete it, I won't tell anyone.

And to be clear, it's not about comparing (though the history of netball is from basketball, which is why I raised it). Synchronised swimming is dumb, doesn't mean I love everything about swimming (butterfly is utterly stupid)

Can confirm that I'm not het up, and that this is also not a rule.

Otherwise you're good to go.

@voodoo the thing with sport is that the rules (or laws) are all kinda stupid. It's what makes them a sport.

Well that's true!

But we debate the rules of rugger endlessly - maybe we should just stop and get on with it

There's no such rule? It was what I was taught when I tried to play in like 3rd form.

Arguing rules are dumb if you don't like them can be done for any sport.

Can you explain what the fuck this means then?
