There was an article in the Waco Tribune Wednesday that mentioned that Kalani needed 22 rebounds to reach the 1,000 career plateau in caroms. I'm certainly not an English major. In fact I are not educated very well. But after playing ball in HS. Watching thousands of games. Reading many an article about BB and listening to hundreds of commentators, I don't remember ever hearing that word used as a basketball term.. I thought it had to do with with a cue ball in pool striking another ball and putting it in the pocket. In fact it seems like the definition has more to do with what the pool shooter makes the ball do in bouncing off the wall and going in. But be that as it may I see that one of the synonyms of carom is rebound.
So, I didn't learn a new word today, I just learned a new way to use it. From now on I shall hereby be referring to rebounds as caroms. Whoopy whoop. You're never too old to learn.
