I am only a player, but I've been playing organized ball for the better part of 27 years with the highest level being Division III. I still play recreational ball and have never heard of this rule before last night.
The referee said that if one player is in the lane for 2 seconds, and as he is getting out of the lane while another player steps in for one second, a violation occurs. He said that the count continues because it is a "Team" violation.
I know that putting a hand in someone's face while they're shooting is called facemasking and is rarely called. So is this another one of those rules that exists but is never called?
