WNBA thread… 28.5 ain’t your pay cut

That’s a terrible old cliche. If someone doesn’t catch a good pass it’s not on the one who made the pass.

 

Just so we're straight on this . . .

Clark throws a perfect pass to Mitchell. Hits her in the hands. She mishandles it, and it bounces off her knee and out of bounds.

Clark gets the turnover? Every time?

 

Probably depends on what degree of control the recipient had or should have had. Sort of like the judgement call between wild pitch and passed ball.

 

“I’m sorry. I don’t speak jive.”

 

That’s fine. It’s still not a good pass. Or even a pass at all. A QB doesn’t get the yardage from a perfect pass that a receiver drops.

I already said it’s irrelevant whose fault it is.

As coach, I can locate the problem and fix it. But that doesn’t mean it was a good “pass.”

 

A player who has not yet had possession cannot turn the ball over.

 

It goes to whoever last had full possession, and has been that way since the beginning of time.

 

It actually does. It’s out of the passers control what happens after they release the ball if they put in a perfect spot.

Nobody is asking for a QB to get yardage for a dropped ball, but it can be acknowledged that the receiver should have had it.

 

There's no other way to rule it, but I've seen some of those passes too.

 

Sure there is. They make judgment calls on assists.

The turnover can be a judgment call as well

 

Yes. Acknowledge that the person on the receiving end should have had it, and if he/she had done so, it would’ve been a good pass.

 

That’s ridiculous.
