Revision 1612970 of this article has been reviewed by Brian McNeil (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 16:05, 5 September 2012 (UTC).
Comments by reviewer: I still don't know where on the court "from the paint" is. I can infer from this, and a little Googling, it's a bit further back and garners more points - but I would've liked to clarify that early-on in the article rather than use the sport's jargon unintroduced. I also had to infer "draw a foul" from context, thus promptly went out of my way to avoid it. The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer. |
