Two Bone’s stories that I remember most: (1) his explanation of why you foul to make the other team shoot free throws at the end of the game and (2) the Bones rule of free-throw shooting.
(1) This one is a story and it goes like this: A little girl is at the fair with a dollar bill. She goes up to one booth and gets change for a dollar and to the next booth to get the change made back into a dollar. She repeats this process over and over as she goes around the fair. Someone observes what she is doing and asks her why. Her explanation is that as she repeats this process over and over some one is going to make a mistake: “… and it ain’t going to be me!”
(2) This one is more of an observation. If a free throw shooter goes to the line to either shoot a one and one or two free throws and the first show bounces around the rim, maybe off the backboard once or twice but the ball still goes – the second shot will swish and be good.I have looked for those situations for years and years and while not 100% it is amazing how often it plays out.
