switch is a stretch. they can be either on or off re:shooting

Agreed we have to go for the win.

We agree on coach, so let's do that.

~80-90% sure I know the other bolt clue.

I think shoot was the other bleed.

Not too big a fan of frog really. The mental gymnastics of getting from basketball player to jumping to frog is a bit much for me.

I think I'm tower > horn > switch > frog

i agree that tower is best. first thing you think about a bastketball player is height. twin towers, etc

Can we think of other clues for:

Coach/Tower/Horn
Coach/Tower/Frog
Coach/Tower/Switch

The more I think about it, I like frog more than switch.

I guess the question is: should the focus be on basketball (in which case it's horn) or the players (in which case it's frog)?

Did he put the suffix -er there because he thought we wouldn't get tower any other way?

i mean i see how horn is more related with the game of basketball then our other two possibilities

but i think a certain amount of mental gymnastics are needed here or he prob would have given this clue earlier

i'm trying to work out if any of these could be used with our other words

If he says "basketball", do we get tower out of that?

If the answer is yes, then we go for frog imo. If no, we say horn?

we'd probably try to make really weak connections to balls instead of tall people

There's a slim, but not zero, possibility that horn was the other bleed clue.

You’ve convinced me that frog at least a reasonably plausible answer. I’ve gotta get to work soon, and you want to bed, so if you want to lock in frog, I’m cool with that.

shrug. it's a complete flip here imo

i don't see a concrete reason it'd be one more than the other since the -er could have easily been added for just one of the clues

i'm good with whatever you decide
