Pull a Deacon athlete's name out of your butt thread

I wonder if many others actually remember this, because this is a top five memory of wake basketball for me. As high schoolers, Townie and WaketheUniverse and i were sitting immediately behind the three point line in the front row when this happened. The ball when backwards over our heads. I've probably shared that story a half a dozen times because we were rolling in the aisles laughing. A happier time for wake basketball.

I was also at that game. From the elbow on the side of the court opposite the benches, on the side where the student section is now. It was crazy.

I was there too. It was a mind-boggling move from Cream Soda.
 
We need more "flip's" and "snoozy's" these days. I feel like if you have a nickname that sticks, you''re probably a baller.

AW Hamilton once shot the ball backwards out-of-bounds.

Over his head, probably 4 rows deep into the stands. One of my all time favorite Wake bball memories.

ETA: should have known phan would be here about it. Awesome.
