I've been hearing moans, groans, and jeers from fans for forty years.
This is one of those plays where I wish I could stop the game and explain the real rule to the fans, "There was no player control and team control established in the frontcourt".
Grandmas and Grandpas don't seem to understand the backcourt rule and interpretation.

Not sure why the moans and groans are relevant to knowing the rule. Are you stopping the game to explain the rule to the fans?
