Joe Ingles just got Married!!!

I just watched a highlight video of netball and that is the most frustrating thing to watch.
It seems cool in the beginning how it's fast paced then when someone catches the ball in the post the defender isn't allowed to contest the shot!?
It's like building up excitement without a good ending. Just a tease lol
That game could be actually really fun to watch if they allowed more aggression with fouls and free throws.

First time I've seen it as well. I think it might be a pretty watchable game if they added dribbling and a backboard. Fouls, too. The thing where they pass it into the post and then everybody watches the shooter take a short shot is so stupid.

It already exists. It's called woman's basketball.
 
I played Netball during PE at school ... it's quite a bit different to Basketball. You can't dribble so no 1 person can dominate the game (Allen Iverson? Westbrook?). Because there are restrictions in where you can move (i.e., the Center position cannot go inside the half circles, Goal Defense can't move past the half way point, etc), it's a real team effort to score just 1 point.


It's one of those sports where it's not terribly exciting to watch but it's pretty fun to play.. LOL ..

I guess I can see this. Looks like a pretty good PE game for reasons you mentioned, except the part where they don't defend the shot. That seems so dumb.

The fact that there is a national championship for this makes me wonder if there's also a national championship for four square or red rover.
 
Yeah, seems like a ****ty game. From what I can tell, you get 6 points from shooting outside the 2 half circles. It doesn't seem like it's that far of a shot, so why not just jack those up all the time?
