[QUOTE="bdutts, post: 1724744, member: 29"] For some reason I can't edit my post. I don't have a problem with it, it's gamesmanship but it could have the exact opposite effect they were looking for. Instead of icing the shooter, they are giving him time to rest and relax and regain his concentration. When I played basketball in high school, our coach had us shoot free throws after running around for 2.5 hours and his reason was because it's much harder to keep your concentration and therefore form when you're tired. And free throws are more important at the end of the close game. Therefore, by taking an official time out to tie shoes, they are giving the shooter time to relax, catch his breath and regain his concentration. Bad move, IMO. Did the shooter make it after they did that? [/QUOTE]
