6 and 7? Those aren’t basketball numbers. Basketball basically uses 1 through 5 with combinations thereof. Will someone actually wear 56 at some point?Slow time for info, but there’s this. I guess ADW wasn’t getting #10 after all, lol. We’ve had a good run of 0’s lately, hopefully he continues that legacy. 👍
I seem to recall they changed the rule to allow 6-9 starting this year. How do the officials get around that with their hand gesture to the table on foul calls? I don't know. Not my problem, I guess!6 and 7? Those aren’t basketball numbers. Basketball basically uses 1 through 5 with combinations thereof. Will someone actually wear 56 at some point?

The NBA figured it out, I'm sure the NCAA will be able to... It was an antiquated rule.Maybe the direction their palm faces or they’ll literally use sign language for those numbers?

Is it that difficult to hold up six fingers and say "number six" at the same time? I guess we'll find out.I seem to recall they changed the rule to allow 6-9 starting this year.

But then is it 6 is 15? Or 51? I used to do PA for some area colleges, like Kean and Willy P, and sometimes it was hard to hear (some D-III games get pretty raucous!). As someone said, they work it out in the NBA, so it's not magic. But the old way was simple enough.Is it that difficult to hold up six fingers and say "number six" at the same time?

In the five or six years I worked at a scorer's table, it wasn't an issue to hold up fingers and say the number. But I'm old now, maybe there's a new fangled way of calling fouls that I don't know about. Lol.
Jaquan Sanders is the best pirate to ever wear #13.
And KC Ndefo.Harold doesn’t agree.
