me LEGAL CLOCK

To accomplish this player No.
rushes at full speed toward No. 2s
opponent. But just before he reaches
him he makes half turn pivot and
extends his arms to take a pass
from a teammate. The rules do not
prevent his doing this.
Just as No. turns his back to No.
rs opponent No. 2 rushes past No.
and takes the pass. The blocking
of No. prevents No. 2's opponent
from covering No. 2. That's the
legal block stunt.
