(v) The act of pushing a shuttlecock or ping-
pong ball along the
floor back towards the other
player when the intention was to scoop it or flip it up in the air so the opponent could catch it. This almost always results in the opponent having to do what Kilbane should have done originally in bending down and picking it up himself.
Bacher walks up to the net to retrieve the shuttlecock that has caught the net and fails in his attempt to flip it up to Agler. It instead slides a few
feet on the floor just out of reach of Bacher, so Bacher decides the shuttlecock retrieval is now out of his hands and proceeds to get in position for the next exchange while Agler will likely injure his back or somehow
break a
bone while picking it up.
Agler: “If you Kilbane that goddamn shuttlecock again I swear I’m gonna sodomize you with the
head of this racket.”
