Rule 4, Section 67, Article 4, A.R.43 states:
A1 intercepts a pass and dribbles toward As basket for a break-away layup. Near As free-throw line, A1 legally stops and ends his or her dribble. A1 throws the ball
against As backboard and follows the throw. While airborne, A1 rebounds the ball off the backboard and dunks. RULING: The play shall be legal since the backboard is equip-ment located in A1s half of the playing court, which A1 is entitled to use.
Here was the situation:
A1 in a half-court situation, legally ends his dribble. He then throws the ball off of the backboard, catches the ball while still on the floor, takes two steps and scores the layup.
According to the ruling, which says " the backboard is equipment in A1's half of the court, which he is entitles to use", this play would be legal as well, correct?
I take my assumption from the ruling, because it does not say that the play MUST BE airborne, CANNOT take his allotted two steps, etc.... it simply says that A1 is entitled to use his backboard.
What do you think?
