The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[kruddler]

The ball has to reach the intended target.  That relies on the ruckman directing the ball accurately and the intended target moving to where the ball is hit.  If the intended target slips, is blocked, is too slow, misjudges the ball’s trajectory, or is beaten to the ball, the ruckman’s efforts are in vain and it’s not a hitout to advantage. 

Alternatively, a ruckman can hit the ball randomly and his midfielder picks the flight and gets to the ball.  That’s a hitout to advantage due solely to the midfielder’s skill/effort/luck.

That is your interpretation of it and not the official statistical definition of it.

It's like people talking about the theory of relativity. It's 'only a theory'.
Different contexts, different interpretations.


....but for the sake of argument, let's go with what you think.
Would pitto, tdk and soj not be hitting to the same.midfielders anyway. So that variation on how good the midfielders are is balanced out amongst our own players.
