Null And Void ...

I'm not confused. Not one bit. I like the rule just as it is, the added exception basically making the stupid interpretation null and void. It is also my opinion, and I'm not confused about this at all either, though I may be wrong, that the added NFHS exception does not duplicate the NCAA deflection rule. Additional NFHS rule language is needed for the NFHS rule to duplicate the NCAA rule.

NCAA: 9-12-5 A pass or any other loose ball in the front court that is deflected by a defensive player, which causes the ball to go into the backcourt may be recovered by either team even if the offense was the last to touch the ball before it went into the backcourt.

NFHS 9-9-1: EXCEPTION: Any player located in the backcourt may recover a ball deflected from the frontcourt by the defense.
