Half-Court Mania in Olathe

First, a high school coach at Olathe Northwest High School hit a half-court shot while blindfolded.

OK, pretty good. What about a Fox 4 TV reporter covering the story?

Um yeah, he hits it too. Then he interviews the teacher (a former KU basketball player) and the teacher hits the shot again.

I wonder what the ONW Ravens' half-court shooting percentage is this year? Do they keep that stat? Of course, someone does.

To be honest, I think the reporter had a harder shot. Even with the spinning around, the teacher knew he was facing a goal and set himself to reorient his body to the basket. The reporter threw the ball over his head, not knowing where he was in relation to the goal.

The real prank would have been to spin the teach around and stop where he was facing the crowd instead of the goal. Of course, that might not have ended well.

Of course, I'm not sure all of this warrants a whole blog post. . . Oh well.
