Who palms the ball more?

[doggydaddy]

Hartley or Jefferson

 

[reno tony]

I think Jefferson. Speaking of Moriah, I am trying to figure out her Assist/TO ratio for today's game and my calculator isn't working. She had eight assists and zero turnovers. Can anyone help me with that one? How many times does zero go into eight?

 

[VAMike23]

It's a close call..... MoJeff by a nose

 

[Icebear]

Trick question. The correct answer is the one with the ball.

I vote Hartley

 

[doggydaddy]

I vote Hartley

I used to think that, but watching this game changed my mind.

 

[Forty_four]

Hartley is way "over the top"

 

[Henry]

My math teacher used to tell us that the 11th Commandment is "Thou shalt not divide by zero". I'll abide by that.

 

[pap49cba]

Watch the men sometime if you want to see palming....

OH, you said "Who palms the BALL more" not the "BALD more"

While that is technically correct, in reality she got a blatantly bad call (or should I say a good one) when she drove into the lane, had the ball poked off her knee and out of bounds and the refs still awarded it to Uconn. So maybe you can say that was .5 of a turnover and then get an A/TO ration of 16 - 1.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I was thinking Bria.

 

[Adesmar123]

Can we put Meadow Lark Lemon in there as a choice?

 

[chrissaran]

When a player does it all the time, they're not going to call it. Earl Monroe used to carry the ball all the time when he did his patented spin move. It was never called.

I actually thought it should have been a reach in foul, but would need to watch the replay again to be sure. I wasn't locked in viewing-wise on the first replay.

Is it Palm Sunday already? Actually, I think it's very rude of the BY palm readers not to give players from other teams the proper credit for being velcro handers. These days if you want to be point guard for a top team you have have to learn how to dribble properly, which means you secure the ball the same way that an NFL running back does. If anyone is happy that their point guard dribbling the way they were taught in 2nd grade gym class, than they are most likely a fan of the Arkansas-Pine Bluff team that may be able to squeeze out a win before the season ends, but probably not.

Dobbsie, I wasn't implying that Jefferson and Hartley are the only palmists.

Just that Hartley isn't the only one on UConn.

It's ridiculous when it is called. It could be called on every play.

they could have called a foul on Rutgers instead just rewarded UConn

 

[DaddyChoc]

MoJeff because she has the ball most of the time

 

[psconn]

I see this as a future "point of emphasis"... it has gotten so blatant on almost every possession. It does, however, aid the offense so who knows.

 

[DaddyChoc]

I hope we're not doing "our girls" a disservice. everyone reads the Boneyard

 

[Shenandoah]

Palming in basketball, is similar to holding in football. You could call it on every play, but then the games would last 10 hours or more...And I say MoJeff...but she's so darn cute...as long as she's on OUR side!!!

 

[Icebear]

Both unnecessarily palm the ball with every dribble.

Hartley or Jefferson

Every guard in WCBB, I'm afraid.
