UMass Kid Hits Halfcourt Shot For $10k, Company Refuses To Pay Because Toe Was On Line

I hope they lose more than 10k due to bad publicity

Give them backlash and make it cost them double

Insurance companies only exist to take money, not pay claims.

Tickets to a women’s game? Talk about adding insult to injury.

Insurance companies collect premiums. They don’t pay claims. They are part of the trifecta of most problems in America—Insurance, attorneys, government.

Good news. This morning UMass announced they are going to step up and give him the $10K.

Is there even a line visible within the halfcourt logo?

Insurance companies and attorneys ruin everything

Luigi doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

OVER THE LINE! Mark it 0. Next frame.

4 shots. No misses. Impressive. No “ref” at mid-court to closely check foot. They should pay up to avoid a bad look

good lord, what imbeciles. Pay up.

“We’re not paying you because you weren’t told what you can’t do.”?

Wouldn’t you hold the person/people in charge of that at fault for the omission?

Then again, does the rules actually list this phrase “do NOT touch the line”?

The inevitable lawsuit will be about what a “half court” shot is. Common parlance means a shot from around half court. It’s not like a three pointer, where it’s designated in the rules as being behind the line.

University loses. Insurance company loses.

Jackie Moon did the same thing in the movie Semi-Pro lol

You have just won a check that says ten thousand dollars.

Didn’t another bb “game” have a similar issue about not awarding the prize for a minute issue?

I want to say they claimed he didn’t shoot the ball before the time ran out (or something like that).

I hope he sues their arse.

This happens al the time

Get Trump on this. Great shooting young man. 4 for 4 is Yuge! Like my win. Yuge. But tell us all the name of the insurance company. I’ll have Pam look into this.
