A1 has the ball in his backcourt and is 9 seconds into his 10 second count. He releases the ball and it is caught by A2 in the front court at 12 seconds. The rule (9.8) says a player/team shall not be in continious control of the ball in his backcourt. Can someone clarify continious control for me and give me the correct call.

Ridgeben,
Continuous control means the other team has not controlled the ball.
The ball in the air at 10, 12 seconds still has not achieved frontcourt status, so by your rule noted, the ball still has backcourt location and the 10 second rule has been violated.
I passed on two of those calls last night.

How many other rules should we ignore?

My own list changes year to year but there are always some that stay on it
BTW, this particular one's hard to ignore with a shot clock & a savvy coach.
