Basketball for the Blind

[GorillaPaws]

Apparently some students have developed a way for blind people to play basketball. Here's the Link: http://news.com.com/New+tech+brings+basketball+to+the+blind/2100-1041_3-5728348.html?tag=nl

The only think is, how do they know when they've made a basket?

It's a good thing for individuals that enjoy playing basketball. A chance to feel normal.

Good for them.

I think that passing the ball to teammates may be a problem, as are loud, echo-y indoor courts. Outdoor courts may be better for this sort of thing.
