For the record: Carly's basket (at least by the end of the season), was a switch kick full kick full. As opposed to a kick full kick full (which is what Ody is doing).
The ONLY reason I know this: Elaine talked about being in favor of limiting basket skills to 4 tricks during the summer coaches meetings. Carly's basket might soon be illegal as it's 5 (I believe only CA and TG have currently competed a 5 trick basket, and even then it was a singular specialty, not a team thing).
ETA: If Gabie wants to fill in and there's a spot, why deny her that opportunity? Just because people outside the gym like her? That's the most nonsensical thing I've ever heard. It's legal, and for all we blather about knowing anything we DON'T know the injured athlete, what is injured about her, and how long that will last. For the time being, a talented athlete has a home on a team she loves. Let's all just appreciate that.
