Nice try, but that is not what he means when he says "Yes! And it counts!"  If he meant what you say, then sometimes he would say "Yes, but it doesn't count."  He only says it when it's a continuation play, the foul was called, and the shot goes in.  

 

What he means when he says "Yes, and it counts!"  is "yes, and he was fouled!"   So he's using words - "and it counts" to mean "and he was fouled," which doesn't make literal sense.  

 

But he's done it for so long, everyone knows what it means, and it's a signature call.  


Meh, you’re trying too hard.  It’s a classic, it makes sense, and everybody knows what it means.

Yogi, you want your pizza cut into 4 or 8 slices?  

4.  Not hungry enough to eat 8. :huh:

 

I remember my dad saying that to a waitress once. I wonder how many times she heard that.

Oh, yeah.  I agree it's a classic. One of the great signature calls.  No one else can use it.
