Any team that relies on it deserves to lose. Two cases in point within recent memory include Indiana and DePaul. They got what they deserved. Not only does the stall rob the fan of seeing real basketball, it has a tendency to break a team's offensive concentration. I am firmly in favor of passing games, provided there is a reason for the pass. Anyone who saw the exciting first round games between Northeastern and VCU and Virginia and Iona knows what I mean. Those were basketball games! The preceding opinions are my own and therefore represent absolute truth :-) Harvey S. Trop mhuxt!hstrop
