Using your same logic, why penalize the kid who was head's up enough to shoot the ball? [/B][/QUOTE]Because it's entirely possible that he maybe wouldn't have been able to shoot the ball if the defense hadn't stop playing. If the player hadda missed the shot, would you have gone to an AP instead of giving the ball back to the shooting team? Or maybe give the ball to the team who mighta had a player grab the rebound- even though everyone else on the floor was standing around? Those are supposed to be the rules also, aren't they?
I just think that resetting the play at time of the horn is a fair and equitable way of handling it.
