Tongue is correct. Though I think the flying V ight have also had a number assigned to it...

I can't recall the numbers we gave them, but there are two versions of the play Tongue is talking about... (a) is exactly like he said, we'd be spread out on the court then when the play was called we would all rush over and guard the person with the ball- the defense would be so confused as to why we were blocking our own player that we could move in unison to the basket.... in retrospect the play should've been called 'the roman turtle'. Version (b) followed the same pattern- rush your own player and defend him to confuse the defense, but at some random moment the ballhandler would yell 'disperse' and we'd all run to random places on the court, mostly in awkward, unhelpful directions- but one person would run towards the hoop for the wide open pass + layup.

And yes, Gaz is right- we most certainly had a play that involved taking a 1/2 to full court shot.


Good memories. I'm especially proud of BDH for standing with his fellow nubblites on the hallowed Tiger Den court. Oh wait....
