The basketball has been flat. Not flat enough that the kids can't use it, but flat enough that it takes a whole lot of oomph to get it to bounce back up to your hand when dribbling. Been looking for a needle at every store I've been to. Haven't made a special trip to any store where I know for sure they would sell needles. But today I finally found the needle for the ball. I grabbed the bike pump, inflated the ball, and now it bounces.
But it bounces like it didn't bounce before. Andrew's aim is off. He knew the amount of rebound to expect. (Uh, that would be "very little" rebound!) The way he shot at the backboard took into account the utter unbounciness of the ball. And now his mom went and inflated the basketball. This is going to take some recalculation of angles.
