The idea behind the drill is to construct an aggressive defense without fouling when leading by one or two points with seven seconds remaining in the game...
Based in suburban Philadelphia, the site launched last January with the more euphonic name Half.com (Derived from the rule, since abandoned, that an item could cost no more than half its list price.)
