cannot believe what I am reading, refs really agree with this rule. I hate this rule, it makes no sense and it makes me look like an ***. Okay, it makes sense in very technical terms but look at this way: someone knocks away the ball into backcourt and you can go retrieve it with impunity, but if it happens to brush your leg as it gets knocked away, this is a backcourt violation. Makes no sense in practice. how can you say that you are just rewarding good defense, no , you are rewarding luck because the ball happened to touch an offense player last.

I have been hoping that they would change this rule for years. I still remember it getting called in the tourney two years ago, Duke-Indiana game and Mike DAvis went nuts
