I am not sure what this means but assume it is a brand of basketball used by this conference.  I seem to remember a thread some timet back about Ohio having bad luck when this type of ball is used...Or is that just my imagination?

I believe TOS used it as an excuse for losing a game.

Looked like it went through the hole just fine....and yes the Rock was discussed ad infinitum under TOS when we ventured out east in 08.

Really miss the ability to refer back to the forum post crash.

Wasn't it the St. Francis debacle?

I thought it had something to do with our game at Bucknell.  I think we won that one but the Rock came up in discussion as a reason for low shooting percentages and high turnovers.

I wonder if there are wise guys in Vegas who know the winning percentage of teams based on what ball they use.

Canisius College in the MAAC plays with that ball also or at least they did.

I went to another college in Buffalo (Daemen) and practiced with "The Rock" on their court. Its a HORRIBLE ball. I wouldn't blame anybody for using that as an excuse.

It feels weird on the hands and was different from other basketballs I've used. I hated it.

Touche.

Have not been over to the site in about 4 years. Interesting to see that Beilien developed a shooting ball with them for training purposes.
