Basketball box score question

what about rhombuses?

 

Hmmmm ... If I remember correctly, they're neither rectangles nor squares. Same with trapezoids. They're just quadrilaterals (quadrigram? I can't remember). I think rectangles are four 90-degree angles. Squares also must have four sides of equal length.

How did I do?

 

euclid couldn't have put it better.

 

Yes! (pumping arm a la Kirk Gibson)

 

strange but true: peter gammons' diamond notes segment on sportscenter was originally going to be called diamond rhombuses.

 

It would have been funnier if you wrote "Rhombus Notes."

 

that's what i meant. it was 2 in the morning.

 

Also the case on a missed FT that is not in play, i.e., a missed technical or the missed first of two free throw attempts.

 

one more...when a person is fouled in the act of shooting and misses the shot (ie. he gets two free throws), do you count the shot as a missed field goal or no? I know it of course counts if it's a make, but always have been unsure on the miss.

 

nope--no shot

 

Of course steals are turnovers. The ball turns over to the other team without a shot getting off. It's a turnover. Pretty simple.
