Can you explain to me what is a dribble?? And when a dribble is legal and when not?? It’s good to go back to basics and understand how things are phrased in the OBRI.

Advantage/disadvantage
The video we found and embedded in this article might be a dangerous one. The rules of our sport are clear so it’s just a matter of observing what happens right? Well. Guess again. Nobody comes to the gym to hear a bunch of zebra’s blow their instruments more often than the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. You have to be smart in what to call, and consistent. We strongly and firmly believe that covering your violations will make life much easier on you and your crew. That is nót an invitation to be triggerhappy and shoot on everything that looks like a violation. Check the video and take some time to contemplate on how you call your violations and fouls.

So here’s to article 37! Lees “Refresh: U fouls!” verder
Trickshot, what do you call?
Clips are not always as clear as they seem. The clip down below shows a miraculous threepointshot going in. But are we going to count it for three?? Most of the people responding to the clip on our instagram said yes. But… Lees “Trickshot, what do you call?” verder
