Perhaps clear up the ambiguity of "high arc-ing" and "high arching" by using "looping"

I also think that 'desperate' 3-pointers seem to have quite a high percentage - and must be a bit of a wind-up for the coach on the receiving end. I mean, I hit 15-44 3s in a come from behind win, imagine how fed up the other coach must've been to see all those 'desperate' shots hit nothing but net :-D

Ha, yeah I've noticed the "desperate" thing too, I'll have a look at it tonight.

The "high arcing" call is the correct call though, it's a term NBA commentators use quite often.

(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/arc)

An "arch" is more of an architechural term, for bridges and the like. "Arcing" is when an electrode moves from one point to the other in a rainbow like manner, so its a more suitable term for the flight of a basketball.... i guess

"arcing" still looks wrong, though. Don't get me started on how North American sports commentators misuse the English language ;-)

If it looks like a typo (it does), and you can use something more UK English (you can), which is just as descriptive <cough> looping </cough>, then why not change it? (please, it's starting to really irritate me).

Hey, I really like the match viewer, I think this idea you've had could do well. My only suggestion would be more for free throws, I seem to get the same few every time, would be good to see others. And please don't take that as a complaint, it isn't! I am fully for this idea. :)

Howdy!

I've got 2 weeks off coming up and during that time I'll be resurrecting the match viewer project, as promosed! I'll be mailing Charles in the next few days to see if I can get the extra lines added like we discussed a while ago, then I'll be going through the game engine text to "freshen" things up once again.

Again, this is a community project so I'll be relying on you guys to give suggestions, look for mistakes in spelling and let me know if any particular string is poor.
