Disappeared Into The Ether ...
If a casebook play falls in a forest and no one is around to read it, is it still a casebook play?
Here’s a great example. This casebook play below was in the NFHS Casebook for at least eight years until 2004-05 and then, with no apparent rule change, no announcement, no replacement caseplay, no new interpretation, and no cancellation of the old interpretation, it just disappeared into the ether.
10.6.1 SITUATION E: B1 attempts to steal the ball from stationary A1 who is holding the ball. B1 misses the ball and falls to the floor. In dribbling away, A1 contacts B1's leg, loses control of the ball and falls to the floor. RULING: No infraction or foul has occurred and play continues. Unless B1 made an effort to trip or block A1, he/she is entitled to a position on the court even if it is momentarily lying on the floor after falling down.
Still valid? It's complicated.
