[Sportsandrec] Fw: Audible Basketball from Hadley School

[Roger Acuna]

I like the idea of an audible basket ball.  Has anyone used one before?
What is it like? and is it usable and durable?  I find that a basket ball 
with bells works fairly well for me as long it doesn't roll away!  I have 
played with standard basket balls as a kid and was able to track it as long 
as the ball bounced nearby. I am also able to hear the air echo inside the 
ball.  So a beeping ball sounds like a plan so long as its comprible to a 
standard one.  What do you think? Message -----
