See The Saniel Theorem
Under the Saniel Theorem, there is a 60 percent chance that Saniel will fuck up the shot, or his presence will throw the match, but there is also a 40 Percent chance of huge success.
The Corollary to the Saniel Theorem means that the shot might actually backfire on us.
For any projectile β in use in a typical gym match, involving any game with a projectile (volleyball, kickball, etc), the closer in proximity that the ball lands to Saniel, regardless of team or positive/negative effect, the more likely the situation is to go wrong and hurt the team.
See Corollary to the Saniel Theorem
The Saneil Theorem gaurantees success to anyone that hits the ball towards Saniel
