I think you mean 180
Maybe so, but I thought the 360 was the full turn and the 180 the half turn…In basketball when the guy went up for the dunk and he did the full turn-around and then dunked they called it the 360..
But you may be right….When you start using these descriptive terms, you just never know…
Thanks for the input….
It’s not ambiguous. When you do a 360, you end up right back where you started. When you do a 180, you go in the complete opposite direction. You meant 180.
Not bad, you learn something new every day and now after the Friday night game, they will have to do a 180 again, as they head toward Saturday night….
Thanks, you got us thinking and that is for sure a good thing….
